In 2023, the low-cost airline Ryanair had the most passengers heading to London-Stansted, Palma de Mallorca and Milan (Malpensa and Bergamo cumulatively) from the Austrian airports that are in its route network. A direct comparison with Germany reveals deviations.
According to its own information, the low-cost airline has carried out around a million flights across its entire route network in the coming year of 2023. This consists of around 230 destinations located in 37 states. From Austria, the routes to/from London-Stansted, Palma de Mallorca and Milan were particularly strong. In the last-mentioned metropolis, the carrier heads to both Malpensa and Bergamo from Vienna.
The direct comparison with the most popular destinations from Germany according to Ryanair is interesting. In 2023, the low-cost airline had a particularly large number of passengers on the routes to/from Palma de Mallorca. This comes as no surprise, as the Balearic island is considered a popular holiday destination for Germans.
The destination London-Stansted is in second place. Milan, on the other hand, is not in the top three. Third place from Germany is occupied by the Irish capital Dublin, which is also the home base of Ryanair DAC. The travel preferences of Germans and Austrians will therefore differ slightly in 3 - at least for the low-cost airline Ryanair.
