Ryanair’s Winter 2024 schedule for Copenhagen boasts 29 routes, including four new destinations, offering budget-friendly travel across Europe. However, the airline warns that a proposed Danish Aviation Tax could hinder the recovery of the country’s tourism and air travel sectors.
Ryanair has announced an expanded winter schedule for Copenhagen, adding four new destinations, but faces a potential roadblock in the form of a proposed Danish Aviation Tax. The airline argues that the tax would stifle growth and harm Denmark’s competitiveness, urging the government to follow Sweden’s example and scrap the plan.
Sweden’s right-wing coalition government has sparked controversy by announcing the abolition of its airline ticket tax from 2025. While airlines welcome the decision, environmentalists argue that it undermines climate efforts and will lead to increased emissions. The move has been criticized by researchers, environmental groups, and opposition politicians who highlight the aviation industry’s significant climate impact.
