In the new summer flight schedule, Bremen Airport offers 22 destinations that are flown to weekly and often multiple times: For example, three airlines have a total of 18 weekly flights to Mallorca. In addition, Antalya on the Turkish Riviera and Greece’s largest island, Crete, are among the most frequently flown holiday destinations from Bremen. There are also Rhodes, Malaga, Alicante, Izmir and Zadar on the Mediterranean as well as the Canary Island of Fuerteventura and the Bulgarian holiday resort of Varna on the Black Sea. The city trip to London is also possible daily from Bremen Airport.
The summer flight schedule officially applies from April to October. However, the airlines are flexible enough and are also based on the expected demand: For example, the airline Eurowings brought forward its summer flight schedule weeks ago and offered ten flights to Mallorca during the Easter holidays.
Which hubs do you fly to?
From May onwards, Vienna will be another destination added to an international hub alongside Zurich, Istanbul, Amsterdam and the two major German airports Frankfurt and Munich. These hubs are suitable for connections all over the world: more than 500 international destinations can be reached with a single change from Bremen Airport.
If you’re looking for a destination in Portugal, you won’t find it in this summer timetable: the Irish airline Ryanair, which flew to Porto last year, has canceled the connection. Also canceled: the routes to Vilnius (Lithuania) and Chania (Crete). You can still go to the Greek island by plane, but to Heraklion airport and then with the airline Sundair.
How many connections does Ryanair offer?
Ryanair currently has six connections from Bremen in its program instead of eight destinations last summer. Lanzarote is new to this offer. The fact that the airline sometimes offers more and sometimes fewer destinations has happened more frequently in recent years and also at other airports. The airline’s argument is, among other things, that the location costs at most German airports are quite high for airlines and that they would therefore prefer to use capacity elsewhere.
According to Ryanair, it cannot meet the overall demand for flights because the airline is still struggling with the consequences of delivery problems at US manufacturer Boeing and, like most airlines, has fewer aircraft than desired. Regardless of the location costs, the airline will have to become more involved in the German market in the future – at least if it wants to achieve its goal of increasing the number of passengers from the current around 184 million to more than 300 million guests by 2034.
The fact that Ryanair is canceling flight connections is also due to the fact that pressure can be exerted here and there on one or another airport and on the German location as a whole, according to experts. For example, the end of the Porto connection in Bremen is probably not due to the volume of bookings: According to Ryanair, this destination was the airline’s third most popular route from Bremen in the last summer flight schedule. If you still want to fly to Porto with Ryanair, you have the opportunity to do so from Hamburg this summer.
Down to business
Fewer goals than in the pre-Corona year 2019
Bremen Airport is still a long way from the number of flights and passenger volumes compared to the pre-Corona year of 2019: there were 30 connections in the summer flight schedule in 2019, this year there are 22. The passenger volume was 1.8 million in 2023, compared to 2019 there 2.3 million passengers. This puts Bremen Airport in good company: According to the airport association ADV, there were a total of 197.19 million passengers at German airports last year. This corresponds to 78.8 percent of the passenger volume from 2019. This result puts Germany at the lower end of the major European aviation markets: 90 percent of the pre-Corona level has been reached throughout Europe. The ADV blames high ticket prices and high location costs for the lagging behind in Germany. The biggest gap is 23.09 million passengers in domestic German air traffic: compared to 2019, a good half of the passengers are still missing. According to ADV, 135.57 million passengers traveled in the European traffic distance class last year. This corresponds to 84.8 percent of the volume in 2019. For intercontinental traffic there were 38.18 million passengers (87.3 percent).
