Ryanair Closes Frankfurt Am Main Base
07 Jan 2022
All Flights To/From Frankfurt Am Main Cancelled From 31 Mar ‘22
Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, today (Fri 7th January) confirmed that it will close its Frankfurt am Main base on 31st March 2022 and has reallocated these five aircraft to airports that have responded with lower airport charges to stimulate traffic recovery.
In a post Covid recovery phase, airports must incentivise traffic recovery, unfortunately Frankfurt instead of providing traffic recovery incentives, has chosen to increase prices even further, making Frankfurt uncompetitive with European airports. While Ryanair continues to invest in Germany (as evidenced by a $200m investment in a new two aircraft Nuremberg base), the German Govt continues to protect legacy carriers, such as Lufthansa who have soaked up €9bn in State aid rather than introduce non-discriminatory traffic recovery schemes open to all airlines.
Ryanair will now deliver even more growth across Europe in Summer ‘22 with 65 new B737 8-200 ‘Gamechanger’ aircraft. There are a multitude of airports throughout Europe seeking to attract this Ryanair growth since our competitors continue to reduce both their fleets and capacity. Efficient operations and competitive airport fees are key to traffic recovery post Covid and instead of incentivising Ryanair to stay and grow, Frankfurt have opted to drive away traffic and jobs by increasing airport charges.
Regrettably all Ryanair Frankfurt am Main based pilots and cabin crew have today received notification of the base closure at the end of March 2022. All flight crew can secure alternative positions within the Ryanair network, since Ryanair is leading Europe’s post-Covid recovery as it accelerates growth (in jobs and traffic) with the delivery of 210 aircraft.
All Ryanair passengers impacted by these flight cancellations will receive notifications and refunds over the coming days.
Ryanair’s Director of Commercial Jason McGuinness said:
“We are disappointed to announce the closure of our Frankfurt am Main base at the end of March 2022, but we have no alternative in response to a decision from the Airport to increase its airport fees, despite the collapse in traffic caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
While Ryanair continues to invest in German airports who understand the requirement to lower airport charges to recover traffic, competition in the German market has been massively distorted by the €9bn of State aid that was pumped into Lufthansa, who continues to cut its fleet, connections, and jobs.
Efficient operations and competitive airport fees provide the foundation from which Ryanair can deliver long-term traffic growth and increased connectivity for airports and regions. This is impossible at Frankfurt following the German Government’s decision to increase its passenger taxes, and the Airport’s decision to increase its already high and uncompetitive fees.
Ryanair continues to successfully negotiate the long-term low costs required from airports to underpin Ryanair’s industry leading low fares, which is driving Ryanair’s recovery and leading Europe’s post-Covid recovery.”

E' stata una delle mie prime basi... sad news ma prevedibile
I riempimenti erano buoni, il vero problema è che un aereo ti faceva 4 voli al giorno, mentre in altre basi te ne fa 8.
Vuoi perché eravamo parcheggiati ai mega remote (dove ora stanno costruendo il T3), dove ci impiegavi 10/15 minuti di bus dal T2; vuoi perché il taxi in/out era lunghissimo, rendendo vano il 25 min t/a; vuoi per la concorrenza di Lufthansa; per non parlare dei CTOT interminabili d'estate, dell'aeroporto che chiude a 00:00 con conseguente diversion ad HNN o CGN, vuoi per i costi operativi alti.. insomma i problemi erano molti, infatti quando c'ero io avevamo 10 aerei, poi ridotti a 7, poi ridotti ancora, poi chiusa.
Magari con un T3 completato e senza il covid l'outcome sarebbe potuto essere diverso.
Una stima basata su tariffe pubblicate potrebbe rendere l'idea del ritiro di Ryanair da FRA.
Strano come i primi due anni (2017-2018) abbiano avuto yield inferiori a FRA rispetto ad HHN...
Considerando la comodità in termini di distanza e l'assenza di player comparabili (low-fare), logicamente mi sarei aspettato riuscissero a strappare qualcosina in più per passeggero.
E invece, mi sembra di capire abbiano utilizzato una strategia da "nuova base", con prezzi bassi per stimolare la domanda (e - ripeto - non capisco perché... dopotutto hanno pur sempre aperto a Francoforte, mica a Lappeenranta)
A seguito della chiusura della base di FRA, le rotte per Bergamo e Catania verranno spostate a Francoforte Hahn
Pare appunto che uno dei problemi sia l'impossibilità di effettuare il turnaround in 25 minuti data la situazione attuale dell'aeroporto.
La promessa di Fraport a Ryanair era il molo G del Terminal 3, che è quasi pronto e che doveva aprire nel 2021.
In questi giorni si parla di apertura posticipata al 2026 (causa covid), con eventuale di anticipare nel caso il traffico riprendesse anticipatamente in maniera significativa.
Chiaro che questa decisione possa essere una delle cause che hanno spinto Ryanair ad andarsene da FRA.
Vediamo se Fraport farà qualcosa per far riavvicinare la truppa di MOL, alla fine il molo G era stato riprioritizzato apposta per loro.
Per ora vince solo Lufthansa.
