Ryanair plans to leave Bremen Airport from summer 2027 but leaves door open
Ryanair plans to end its flights from Bremen Airport when the summer 2027 schedule begins.
The airline and the airport have worked together since 2007.
Bremen officials wanted to negotiate Ryanair’s proposed terms, but the airline cancelled a meeting and said the relationship would end.
The airport said accepting the offer could mean an annual loss; the article gives estimates of one million euros from the regional economic department and a higher figure based on other information.
Ryanair’s manager said the two sides had different approaches to business negotiations and did not rule out the possibility of returning in the future.
The airline has also said it will cut seat capacity in Germany, citing higher costs than in other European countries.
The manager also suggested that Ryanair’s treatment in Bremen may have differed from Lufthansa’s, but the article does not specify what commitments Lufthansa allegedly received.
The departure is planned for summer 2027, and no return arrangement has been announced.
Ryanair says it will end its service relationship with Bremen Airport from the start of the summer 2027 flight schedule.
The airline had announced the decision after cancelling a negotiation meeting planned for the previous Wednesday in Dublin.
Bremen officials had wanted to renegotiate Ryanair’s proposed terms, which the city’s economic department said were not a realistic basis for an agreement.
The airport’s estimated losses under the proposal were reported as one million euros a year by the economic department and as potentially much higher by Weser Kurier.
Ryanair manager Marcel Pouchain Meyer has not ruled out a future return.
