Ryanair cancels Tallinn-Berlin flights as it exits Brandenburg base
Ryanair confirms closure of Tallinn-Berlin route as it exits Brandenburg base
Ryanair will terminate its direct flights between Tallinn and Berlin this October, marking the latest casualty of its decision to close its Brandenburg Airport base in Germany. The airline’s withdrawal leaves Estonia’s capital without a budget carrier on the route, though Tallinn Airport expresses hope that a new operator—potentially alongside existing carrier airBaltic—will step in by summer 2027 .
The move follows Ryanair’s broader strategy to consolidate operations at larger hubs, with Brandenburg’s relatively low passenger volumes failing to justify continued investment. Tallinn Airport officials say they are in talks with multiple airlines to fill the gap, though no agreements have been finalized. The route currently operates three times weekly, serving both business and leisure travelers.
Ryanair’s exit from Brandenburg, announced earlier this year, reflects the airline’s focus on high-volume, low-cost routes. The closure will affect several other European destinations from Berlin, though the Tallinn-Berlin link is the first to be publicly confirmed. Industry analysts suggest the decision may pressure smaller regional airports to offer more competitive incentives to retain carriers.
Meanwhile, European airports brace for summer disruptions as the new Entry/Exit System (EES) for border checks continues to cause delays. Travel groups warn passengers to arrive earlier than usual, with Ryanair among the airlines urging customers to factor in additional processing time . The EES, which digitizes border controls for non-EU travelers, has already led to bottlenecks at major hubs, including Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

Europa, la mila caniculei: milioane de oameni nu își permit un aparat de aer condiționat. Care este situația României Valurile de căldură tot mai intense pun presiune pe milioane de europeni care nu au acces la aer condiționat, transformând verile într-o provocare serioasă pentru sănătate și confort. Diferențele economice dintre state fac ca protecția împotriva temperaturilor extreme să fie inegală, iar în multe regiuni din Uniunea Europeană lipsa mijloacelor de răcire rămâne o problemă ignorată. În acest context, România se înscrie în tabloul general al vulnerabilității climatice, unde accesul la soluții de răcorire depinde în continuare de venituri și infrastructură, arată un clasament citat de Euronews.
