Luftfahrt: Flugtickets kosten in Deutschland fast doppelt so viel wie 2010
Ein durchschnittliches Flugticket in Deutschland kostet mittlerweile 300 Euro. International meiden immer mehr Airlines die deutschen Drehkreuze, zeigt eine Auswertung.
In recent years, the cost of flying in and out of Germany has skyrocketed, nearly doubling since 2010. According to a joint report by the Bundesverband der Deutschen Luftverkehrswirtschaft (BDL) and the Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), the average ticket price has risen from just under 150 Euros to around 300 Euros.
This increase is attributed to higher government taxes, such as the air transport tax, security charges, and air traffic control fees, as well as greater personnel and operational expenses. European ticket prices have also increased from approximately 250 Euros to almost 340 Euros on average. BDL Chief Executive Officer Joachim Lang noted that the report reveals Germany's gradual decoupling from the international aviation market, with routes disappearing and passengers and freight shifting to non-European hubs.
This represents a significant location challenge for an export nation. In long-haul air travel, there have been notable changes in passenger flow and hub patterns since 2010, with passenger streams increasingly moving to non-EU hubs, particularly in Turkey and the Gulf region.
