Leipzig/Halle Airport has developed into an important freight hub for Germany and Europe in recent years. In Germany - in contrast to Austria - the volume has risen sharply during the corona pandemic. The planned expansion in Saxony is therefore an obvious choice. However, some demonstrators objected and blocked the access to the Deutsche Post-DHL logistics center on Saturday night. This led to a backlog of trucks, so that the police had to intervene. According to its own statements, DHL also filed criminal charges against the demonstrators. Many demonstrators did not want to reveal their identity to the police on site, so an investigating judge had to deal with the matter on Sunday. According to the public prosecutor's office, no pre-trial detention was issued because the suspects then identified themselves to the judge and could be identified without a doubt. The law enforcement authorities are investigating on suspicion of coercion. Another thing that caused a stir in Leipzig was the fact that urgently needed corona vaccines were on board some of the planes. These were loaded onto trucks, which were unable to leave the area due to the blockade. Pilots were also allegedly prevented from entering the airport, which also caused delays for departing cargo planes. Due to the high demand, around 40 additional parking spaces for cargo planes are to be built at Leipzig/Halle Airport. This would increase capacity by around 40 percent. Local residents and environmental activists fear that there could be more flight movements at night. They are therefore trying to prevent the expansion by means of protests.
