Ryanair to axe all flights to European city affecting 500,000 seats
RYANAIR is cancelled all flights to a European airport next year, – which works out to half a million seats.
As of early 2027, the airline will no longer fly to the German city of Bremen.
Currently, Ryanair offers daily flights from London Stansted to Bremen for as little as £15.
But in a new announcement, these will come to an end in April 2027.
On the Ryanair website, it appears tickets for the final flights to Bremen are scheduled for March 27, 2027.
The German city is known for its maritime history and gothic look that some often say looks ‘fairytale-like’.
With Ryanair withdrawing the route, there will be no direct links to Bremen from the UK.
Those wanting to visit the German city will have to take stopover flights which can take over double the time.
The shortest is with KLM, which has a stopover in Amsterdam and takes three hours and 20minutes.
Last year, Ryanair announced it would be dropping 24 routes to and from Germany, cutting nearly 800,000 seats in total.
It was revealed that nine airports would be affected, along with the plans of those wanting a winter break, and including major cities that are popular with tourists.
These are:
- Berlin
- Hamburg
- Memmingen
- Baden-Württemberg
- Cologne
- Frankfurt-Hahn
- Dortmund
- Dresden
- Leipzig
In April of this year, the airline confirmed it would be reducing its flight schedule to and from Berlin by 50 per cent.
Ryanair’s CEO Eddie Wilson said back in August: “Germany’s air travel market is broken and needs an urgent fix.
“As a result of these high government taxes/fees (the highest in Europe), and Lufthansa’s high-fare monopoly, German citizens/visitors now pay the highest air fares in Europe.”
