      TLDR summary

      Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr expressed concern about further reductions in flight services in Germany due to high airport fees and new government regulations, which he says make German airports less competitive. Airlines like Ryanair and Eurowings have already cut back on connections, and Spohr fears this trend will negatively affect Germany’s business hubs. He also criticized the government’s plan to mandate the blending of e-fuels, which is currently in limited supply.

      Who here found this out the hard way like just did? Tried to book a flight Stockholm-Düsseldorf and only got a few options that were expensive like crazy. Used to be much better.

      til that there actually isn’t a crazy-ass demand for flight slots. Who would have guessed.

      Lufthansa refused refunds for cancelled flights during corona until the government gave them a couple of billion.

      Stop propping up these dinosaur industries.

      And no need to prop up the airports of Schwanzhausen an der Riß and the likes just because they already used to exist.

      If the train connections would actually work (they don’t) just Cologne Berlin Munich (+the Basel/Freiburg Airport) it would be enough to get everyone everywhere in under 3 hours from there.

      Germany is lucky if it ends up with less flights. Cheap flights = more and more tourists = more airBNB = less places to live for locals = sky high rents.

      The thing is Europe (or at least the EU as a whole) needs to introduce equalized airport and jet fuel taxing, making flying to and from all countries within it equally expensive (as far as taxes go), making it impossible for airports or airlines to compete based on differing taxation levels in these areas.

      Tax differences are the bane of a healthy market and having little to no taxes is akin to subsidizing companies, who benefit from taxation funded infrastructure and a supported consumer base.

      I had a five hour international/intra-European flight with Lufthansa yesterday. Got a 0.3l bottle of water and one piece of chocolate, not even a sandwich or anything like that.

      Screw them, they’re digging their own grave with their subpar offerings.

      As a German, I want highspeed trains going to every city, without delays and cancellations. I don’t want just some major cities connected by expensive flights, long transportation times and all the security what I can and can’t bring on my trip.
