Easyjet continues to reduce its presence in Germany

The low-cost airline Easyjet is noticeably reducing its presence in Germany in the 2022/23 winter flight schedule. The hardest hit by the cuts is Berlin Airport, where the local base is being downsized. A total of nine routes are permanently abandoned.

The former non-stop route to Vienna-Schwechat is also affected. One withdraws - at least for the time being - completely back from the largest airport in Austria. Route Berlin-Innsbruck will no longer be offered in the future. Easyjet no longer flies to Milan-Malpensa from Munich. This also applies to Berlin, but Linate is still offered from there.

Six other routes from the German capital will be suspended at least for the winter of 2022/23. These can be booked again in the 2023 summer timetable, but the actual resumption is still open.

Easyjet and Ryanair have repeatedly criticized the airport charges at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. Both carriers used these for extensive cuts in the German capital. Just a few days ago, the Irish low-cost airline announced that Capacity will subtract from the BER. At Easyjet, it has been apparent for some time that they are secretly downsizing. The company explained, among other things, that the aircraft could be used more profitably from other airports.

The following Germany routes have been removed from the Easyjet network:

Berlin – Athens
Berlin – Cologne/Bonn
Berlin-Gothenburg
Berlin-Helsinki
Berlin-Innsbruck
Berlin – Milan-Malpensa
Berlin-Pafos
Berlin – Santa Cruz de la Palma
Berlin – Vienna
Munich – Milan-Malpensa

The following routes will not be offered in winter 2022/23, but can currently be booked for summer 2023:

Berlin-Bordeaux
Berlin-Faro
Berlin – Lisbon
Berlin-Lyons
Berlin-Porto
Berlin – Thessaloniki

Honestly? THANK YOU EasyJet! This "commitment" is exemplary and definitely worth emulating. Every line that is not served is a win for the environment.
I "separated" myself from LH, RA and others and bought an annual ticket from DB. I book online for Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Denmark. Including delays, I'm usually still faster than the plane, including time spent at the airport, etc.

Mr Hummel,

Unfortunately, you can't rely on the train!
Delays, cancellations and overcrowded trains,
do you like that?
So I'm glad there's still a plane that takes me from Berlin to Vienna in an hour, for example.
You can take a few hours by train and maybe still sit in an overcrowded train.

With the train you can be happy when the train comes and takes you with it. Experienced so often this summer that neither bikes nor yourself were taken with you. Thank you very much too. The only alternative is the car. At least I have a seat there
