But the Kassel Airport has to assert itself against a negative trend that has been going on for years. Previously, the Turkish airline Corendon Airlines had deleted all the connections from and to Antalya and the only permanently stationed machine that belonged to the airline Sundair left the airport due to economic difficulties. All of this is done against the background that the airport continues to fight with considerable losses, which amounted to around 4.98 million euros in 2023 alone. Despite this mood, there is hope, since the operator has announced that it will also open other goals, including Gran Canaria and South Tyrol in early 2025 as well as numerous special trips such as travel to Rome or the Algarve, which should enrich the range of flights, such as hna reported.

The current developments bring a breath of fresh air to the Kassel Airport, which has long suffered from money problems and protests by environmentalists who indicate the ecological follow -up costs of flight operations. These new flights could not only be a step in the right direction for the airport, but also for passengers to improve the travel experience. It remains to be seen whether this is sufficient to escape the financial misery and to attract other airlines.
