Cheaper travel espoused by CDU with proposed reduced fair prices
In a recent interview with the "Rheinische Post" (Monday edition), Anja Karliczek, the Chairwoman of the Tourism Committee in the Bundestag, has expressed a demand for more affordable air travel in Germany. Karliczek, a member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, criticized the high fees at German airports compared to airports in Spain and Turkey.
Karliczek believes that these measures could prevent the departure of airlines from Germany. She called for a reconsideration of the fee structure at German airports, suggesting that the high fees and taxes may negatively impact the economic location of Germany.
The Federal Minister responsible for implementing Karliczek's demand to improve flight prices in Germany is Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder (CDU). Anja Karliczek has reiterated her demand for a reduction in air traffic-specific taxes, fees, and charges, and has emphasized that the goal of the coalition is to reverse the increase in air traffic tax scheduled for May 2024.
Karliczek's continued advocacy on this issue underscores her commitment to the competitiveness of German airports and the broader economy. Her remarks suggest that she is seeking to address the competitiveness of German airports on a broader scale, with potential impacts extending beyond tourism to business travel and the trade fair industry as well.
Improving connections to international hubs is crucial not just for tourists, but also for business travelers and the trade fair location in Germany, according to Karliczek. She specifically mentioned the high air traffic tax as a concern, and has emphasized that reducing fees and taxes at German airports could help to attract more airlines and improve the overall competitiveness of the country's airports.
The issue of high fees and taxes in German airports remains a concern for Karliczek, as evidenced by her recent statements to the "Rheinische Post." Her repeated calls for a reconsideration of the fee structure at German airports indicate her persistent advocacy on this issue. The potential impact of her proposed measures extends beyond tourism, affecting business travel and the trade fair industry as well.
