There is a certain panic in Germany that now with the Brexit on the horizon lowcost giants from the UK might step expand in central Europe instead. So everybody tries to brace for that moment, LH, AB and TUI. Ryanair has quietly moved many flights and business to Germany's big airports and aims for business travellers now, being ready to grow there.
Time for the Germans to step it up then, do like France, Norway, Denmark and demand they follow local labour laws. They can't back out of every European country. Where are they going to put all the nice new Max:es??
