Lufthansa’s CEO Christoph Franz warned that the ban of the night-flights would damage the position of Germany in the freight market to the Middle East.
Franz stated, “The threat of a night flight ban is hanging like the Sword of Damocles over Frankfurt. Gulf States want to replace Europe as a freight hub. We need internationally competitive operating times and that means night flights”.
At present, 17 flights including the starts and landings have the permission to move at Germany’s largest Frankfurt airport between 2300 CET and 0500 CET.
An appeal has been filled in a Leipzig court to check the ban on night flights in the autumn.
Franz stated that the new regulation will hit the heart of their empire which would be a big setback. He added that the threatened ban on night flights at Germany’s major airport in Frankfurt has raised a lot of concern as it will obstruct the success of the fights and will have an adverse effect on the economy.
A majority of workforce of Lufthansa has been employed in the Frankfurt area, and since Germany is one of the biggest exporters, the ban will prove to be a killer for it when these exports need all the help they can get.
