Easyjet is planning to return to Düsseldorf Airport in 2025, opening three international routes after a five-year break. This decision marks a significant turning point in the German market for the airline, which had withdrawn significantly from domestic routes in recent years. The British low-cost airline has announced that it will be offering connections to London Gatwick, Edinburgh and Nice from Düsseldorf from summer 2025 and sees this return as an opportunity to specifically serve market needs. Düsseldorf Airport in particular is optimistic and is celebrating the airline's return as an important success, especially given the currently complex framework conditions in German air traffic. Withdrawal and new opportunities for Easyjet in Germany Since Easyjet's last appearance in 2020, the picture of the German market has changed significantly. Easyjet had increasingly focused on the Berlin market in Germany and gradually reduced its domestic German connections after the closure of Berlin Tegel Airport in 2020. Düsseldorf was abandoned at that time, and domestic German routes such as Berlin-Düsseldorf, which were previously offered by Easyjet, also disappeared. In recent years, rising operating costs, stricter environmental regulations and the pandemic have affected competition at Düsseldorf Airport. But the return of the airline, which in 2018 jokingly encouraged people to visit "uncooler cities" like Düsseldorf in a controversial campaign, shows that from Easyjet's point of view, the market once again offers attractive gaps and growth potential. The introduction of connections to London-Gatwick, Edinburgh and Nice is strategic: While London is considered an important international hub for business travellers and tourists, Edinburgh and Nice are popular destinations for holiday travellers.
