Ryanair to shut its Berlin Brandenburg (BER) base in Oct. 2026, cutting capacity by 50%
Ryanair says it will close its 7-aircraft Berlin base on 24 Oct 2026, halving winter service to/from Berlin and moving all aircraft out of the market. The carrier points to a 27% post-Covid traffic decline at BER alongside 50% cost growth, plus an additional ~10% increase expected from 2027 tied to Germany’s air-transport tax regime.
