The German Aerospace Center assumes that the number of flights operated from the Federal Republic of Germany in summer 2024 will increase by around 5,3 percent in direct comparison with the previous season. However, it will still be a long way from the pre-crisis volume. Within the European Union, Germany is doing particularly badly in terms of aviation's recovery from the effects of the corona pandemic. For example, domestic German traffic has only reached about half of the volume it had before the pandemic. With very few exceptions, the Lufthansa Group has a veritable monopoly position. Easyjet, which was active on some domestic German routes before the crisis, has largely withdrawn. This alone has led to a massive reduction in supply and, due to a lack of competition, prices have sometimes risen sharply. In addition, domestic flights are already taxed disproportionately heavily, because the air traffic tax is high and VAT is also charged. From May 2024, the government will tighten the financial screws again, which will lead to prices rising again. This will not only have a dampening effect on domestic demand in Germany, but also make it unlikely that potential competitors will seek to compete with the Lufthansa Group in domestic traffic.

The DLR assumes that there will be around 2024 domestic flights in July 10.100. In comparison: In July 2019 there were 20.300 domestic flight movements. This means that the offer is
