With this shocking decision, Ryanair not only closes airports, but also falter the entire air traffic industry in Germany. "The complete departure of German airports is an alarm sign. It is a sign that the gap between Germany and other European countries is getting bigger," says Ralph Beisel, the general manager of the ADV, who describes the situation as catastrophic

The displacement from the German market

There is no lack of inquiries - we have a clear offer of offer, and this is due to the unfair competitive conditions that are plagued by German airports!

state -based fees and levies shoot up and make competition more difficult with other European airport locations. "Air traffic tax has been increased several times in recent years, the stress caused by security controls too. What remains for the airlines than going?" asks Beisel and sees the need that the federal government is finally acting.

an unsustainable condition!

Ralph Beisel urgently warns: "At some point the barrel is just full! If something does not change quickly, other airlines will also follow the Ryanair's example." A solution could be accurately abolishing air traffic tax, accurately based on Sweden's model. "It is time to stop the negative spiral!"

The future of Germany air traffic location is on the brink. So what is the next chapter in this dramatic story? The Federal Government now has responsibility to set the course for a positive development of the market.
