Deutsche Lufthansa AG, simply known as Lufthansa, German flag carrier founded in Berlin in 1953, a member of Star Alliance with its main hub in Frankfurt am Main Airport, ranking second in Europe by passengers carried as well as largest in Europe and fourth largest in the world by revenue has criticised Germany for its excessive government taxes which make the country unattractive for aviation.
The criticism expressed by the German airline was joined by Ryanair, the Irish ultra - low - cost carrier group headquartered in Swords - Dublin which attributed the slow recovery of German air traffic to the high costs of access with reference to the taxes applied on air traffic and various rights regarding security, air traffic control and airport charges.
It was predicted that the passenger capacity of airlines in Germany will only reach reach 87% of the levels from 2019 to 2024, compared to 102% in Europe on a combined basis.
This figure reveals that Germany is currently the only one of the five largest markets on the European continent that will not exceed capacity levels from 2019 or 2024.
Lufthansa and Ryanair jointly welcomed Sweden's decision to abolish the aviation tax and urged Germany to follow the example of the Scandinavian country.
