...easyJet will not dominate the discount skies. Ryanair already has an operating base in Germany, at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. The Berlin-based, former charter airline Germania is also focused on the budget traveler. From December, Brussels-based Virgin Express is planning flights from Cologne-Bonn Airport. Even German flagship Lufthansa appears to be getting the message; last month it gave its blessing to a proposal by German carrier Eurowings, in which it has a key shareholding, to enter the budget fray.
