A fire at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport led to an interruption of air traffic for around one hour on Tuesday.

The fire was caused by a defective electric motor on a baggage conveyor. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the heavy smoke caused the departure area to be evacuated. Airport operations had to be suspended between 17:30 p.m. and 18:30 p.m. After intensive ventilation, operations were able to resume. The rooms now have to be cleaned of fire-fighting foam and powder. The damage was minimal thanks to the quick response of the professional and company fire brigade.
