Airline tickets in Germany are becoming cheaper again
Airline tickets in Germany are getting cheaper again, after airlines had been able to raise prices for a long time.
The story links changes in flight prices to the war in the Gulf, but gives no details on how the conflict affects fares.
The price picture comes from data on flights actually operated and fares actually paid, rather than listed ticket prices.
British data company OAG says it has access to these airline-internal figures.
Airline executives expect 2026 to be a difficult year, despite a start they described as moderate to good and a brief upswing.
One executive said next year may not be much better, though no further outlook or specific fare forecast is given.
Airline tickets in Germany are becoming cheaper again, according to data cited by Handelsblatt.

An airline executive described 2026 as threatening to become a very bad year after a mixed start and a brief upturn.
Another airline executive said the following year was unlikely to be much better.
