In the aviation sector, major low-cost airlines Ryanair, Easyjet, and Wizz Air are pulling back from several routes in Germany. This is leading to reduced competition and rising ticket prices. The main driver behind this shift? Increasing airport fees, which are making it less profitable for these airlines to operate in the country. Moving to the automotive industry, Mercedes has decided to end its joint venture with the Chinese manufacturer BYD.
