Due to high government fees and climate policy, airlines are reducing their presence in Germany. The head of Lufthansa, Carsten Spohr, told Bild about this.

According to the head of the country's largest airline, the aviation industry is facing enormous difficulties due to high government fees. At the same time, the authorities' single desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the aviation industry and quotas for the use of environmentally friendly fuel make Germany even less attractive for doing business compared to others.

"More and more airlines are avoiding German airports and canceling important flights," said Christian Spohr. Regulating aviation in this way will cause "huge damage to our economy," which Germany and the EU cannot afford, the head of Lufthansa added.

The day before, the German National Aviation Industry Association BDL estimated that government spending on regular medium-distance flights in Europe would amount to about 30 euros per passenger. As a result, Eurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, announced that it would reduce its offer in Germany by about 1,000 flights per year and move them to other European countries. Budget airline Ryanair, in turn, announced that it would reduce its offer in Germany due to an increase in operating costs caused by regulation, for example, a higher aviation tax.

As EADaily reported , in April 2023 , the European Parliament and Advice The EU has agreed to introduce a requirement for the use of synthetic fuel by aviation from 2025. It is planned that by 2035 its share should be 20%, and by 2050 — 70%.

The head of Lufthansa stated a year ago that there would not be enough synthetic fuel for everyone due to low supply volumes.
