New momentum for Lübeck Airport: Popular destinations on the approach!

Lübeck, Deutschland - The Lübeck Airport plans a strategic upswing through new flight routes to increase the number of passengers again. The desired goals are Mallorca, Málaga and London-Stansted. This announcement follows a significant decline in passenger numbers in 2024, which has dropped by 14 percent. Overall, more than 70,000 passengers started or landed in Lübeck, which is a drastic decline compared to the almost 700,000 passengers in 2009. In addition, the airport could not build on the figures of the two previous years.

The Situation was also intensified by the decision by Lübeck Air, no longer offering flights since 2023, as well as the announcement by Sundair to plan their departure from Lübeck at the end of the season for reasons of capacity. However, there is positive things, because Ryanair will offer flights from Lübeck again from March after the company received an appropriate offer from Lübeck Airport. This return of the airline could be crucial for the future passenger volume, especially against the background that several airlines, due to increased airport fees, will delete connections from and to Hamburg.

challenges and future outlook

The airport spokeswoman Stefanie Eggers emphasizes the need for measures to improve mobility in Germany. This call is also underpinned by the fact that Germany is considered unattractive for airlines in a European comparison. In addition, Eurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, has deleted numerous flights from and to Hamburg. However, there is hope for an increase in passenger numbers in 2025, according to those responsible for the airport.

The monthly number of passengers at Lübeck Airport show that the situation remains challenging. According to a survey, regular data on passenger development were recorded from January 2022 to October 2024, which indicate the different challenges with which the airport is confronted.
