BERLIN (Reuters) – Ryanair (RYA.I) does not expect to grow in Germany next year, after closing its bases in the northern German city of Bremen and at Weeze near Duesseldorf, Chief Executive Michael O’Leary told Reuters on Wednesday.

Ryanair said earlier this month it was removing capacity from those bases as well as at Eindhoven in the Netherlands to cope with the lower fares, higher oil prices and strike costs, which a pan-European body representing Ryanair pilot unions said was a “declaration of war” amid labor talks.
