Ryanair has confirmed it will close its Berlin base and axe thousands of flights from the German capital. The airline said it intends to shut its seven-aircraft base at Berlin Airport on October 24, 2026, cutting the number of flights it operates to and from the city by 50% in its winter schedule.
Ryanair said all seven Berlin-based aircraft will be reallocated to lower-cost airports in other EU states, including Sweden, Slovakia, Albania and Italy, which have abolished aviation taxes. The airline blamed rising costs at Berlin Airport and across Germany for the decision.
