FR announced at ITB at Berlin that they will launch domestic flights in Germany soon - rumours: Berlin-Munich and Berlin-Cologne/Dusseldorf. Some years ago FR offered SXF-NRN, SXF-HHN and BRE-SXF.
Main domestic routes in Germany are HAM-MUC; TXL-MUC, HAM-FRA, TXL-FRA, TXL-DUS, TXL-CGN, HAM-STR, TXL-STR, DUS-MUC, CGN-MUC. There is quite a high competion with high speed trains.
Hanover would be a perfect base for FR as well. No real competition from 4U, no EZY, DY or W6 and just a few VY flights. With just a few based aircrafts they could be number one airline of this airport.
Stuttgart and Nuremberg would also be good options to compete directly vs 4U and AB to gain market share.
As of today I do not think FR will open bases at HAM, DUS, FRA and MUC. Smaller airports in Germany are always an option for bases but there is no competition with 4U, EZY, VY or DY and less business traveller.
