Ryanair

Ryanair is reducing its offering at BER with the winter schedule by twelve routes; six destinations (including Palermo, Marseille, Tallinn) will no longer be directly reachable. Six other routes will be taken over by other airlines (e.g., easyJet, Eurowings, Wizz Air), meaning BER loses about half of Ryanair’s previous offering. The airport operator expects lower passenger numbers for 2026 and 2027, while Ryanair is cutting around 700,000 seats nationwide and other carriers are expanding their services at BER. » Altro su finanzen.net

Ryanair is closing its base in Berlin and plans to pull about 100 cockpit staff; the location was home to the only German works council in Ryanair’s flight operations. Pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit accuses the low-cost carrier of targeted union busting after the works council won a case at the Federal Labor Court in April and several members of the bargaining committee were dismissed during pay negotiations. Ryanair cites high site costs at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which it says harmed competitiveness and traffic volumes, as the reason for the decision. » Altro su n-tv.de
