According to Walter Schoefer, Managing Director of Stuttgart Airport, there will no longer be plane tickets for 9,90 euros or 29,90 euros. The sharp rise in fuel prices alone would ensure that "flying has to become more expensive," says the manager.

In the course of the corona pandemic, Stuttgart Airport lost almost all of its low-cost offerings, as Easyjet and Ryanair, among others, have withdrawn. Airlines have accused the airport of high fees. But it should also be in the interest of the green state government that ultra-cheap flight tickets from Stuttgart are only the absolute exception.

In an interview with the Südwestpresse, Schoefer explained that, in his opinion, low-cost airlines have a certain competitive advantage precisely because of the high level of inflation. He expects that they will continue to advertise with low prices. “There will be no more flights for 9,90 or 29,90 euros. When groceries become more expensive in general, the discounter isn't the first to give up on the supplier side," says the head of Stuttgart Airport.

When asked about the staff chaos that prevails at some German airports, the manager emphasizes to the Südwestpresse, among other things, that no layoffs were announced during the pandemic. This would now pay off. Schoefer sees Stuttgart Airport well positioned for the wave of travel during the summer holidays from Baden-Württemberg.
