Visibility too bad
“In order to safely take off or land an aircraft, visibility is at least 300 meters“said Guido Miletic, spokesman for Dortmund Airports on Sunday. Since Sunday morning the fog had become so thick that at times one could barely see 225 meters away.
Bus-Shuttle for rerouted passengers
The result: Planes from Istanbul, Vilnius or Katowice had to land at Cologne/Bonn Airport instead of Dortmund. A bus service was provided for the passengersShuttle set up in Dortmund.
Anyone who was stuck at Dortmund Airport and couldn’t get away had to deal with the respective issue Airline Whether the flight was rebooked for another day or canceled.”The airport also has an obligation to operate. We have to stay open until 10 p.m. and not send anyone away“, said airport spokesman Miletic.
But two more take-offs and two landings
“There’s probably nothing going on here today“, said Miletic on Sunday afternoon. However, the airport spokesman did not want to specify exactly. Even a light wind could quickly improve the situation.
