Overview
- Saxony-Anhalt intends to limit its contributions to non-economic functions at Leipzig/Halle, such as air traffic control and firefighting, while Saxony alone covers Dresden.
- Under the draft, MFAG support declines to €37 million in 2026, €28 million in 2027, €21 million in 2028, and €13 million in 2029 before ending in 2030.
- Dresden is slated to receive an additional €9 million per year from Saxony for 2027 through 2030 as a separate structural compensation.
- The plan requires cabinet sign-offs and final approval by both state parliaments, with Saxony’s minority government relying on opposition votes in a tight budget environment.
- MFAG’s restructuring—staff and cost reductions tied to bank financing—continues alongside an earlier €100 million support package and a reported €80 million targeted from property sales after pandemic losses and airline withdrawals.
