Last Easter weekend brought the long-awaited rush of passengers at FKB for the first time since the beginning of the corona pandemic.

Alone in the period from 14.04. until 17.04. 100 take-offs and landings in scheduled and charter air traffic with almost 17.000 passengers were handled without any significant problems in handling, as the airport reported in a press release. The expected rush did come; However, the crowds that were often feared in advance did not materialize at the FKB. Fortunately, the numbers were above the 2019 level again for the first time.

According to Eric Blechschmidt, Head of Air Traffic at FKB, "the professionalism of our employees and the corresponding preparatory work" are the reasons for our success, why things didn't get stuck at the beginning of the main travel season. "We started early on to adapt to the time after Corona and to integrate the changed conditions into our processes. All relevant processes were analyzed and adapted to the new conditions – such as greater distances between passengers and an increased number of document checks. As a result, changes were implemented at check-in, in routing and in the gate area. These measures have now paid off,” says Blechschmidt, pleased about the FKB, which is again heavily frequented.
