According to Lufthansa, Leipzig/Halle and Dresden airports are the focus of possible further cuts in German air traffic. "If the German government continues to hesitate, the current sobering findings will not even mark the bottom of the trough," it says in a recent public newsletter to political decision-makers. Several media outlets had previously reported.
Lufthansa, Eurowings and other domestic and foreign airlines will continue to reduce their services if there is no reduction in taxes and fees.
In addition to the two eastern German airports, the focus is also on airports in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. No network planner can escape the economic reality, the Group wrote.
Lufthansa Airlines CEO Jens Ritter had previously told the newspapers of the Funke media group: "The list of airports that we have to look at from a business perspective is long: Bremen, Dresden, Cologne, Leipzig, Münster, Nuremberg, Stuttgart - to name just a few."
