Climate activists block airports in Düsseldorf and Hamburg

On July 13th, the “last generation” climate activists blocked the airports in Düsseldorf and Hamburg for several hours. As a result, 48 flights had to be canceled in Düsseldorf alone and two were redirected. This campaign met many vacationers who wanted to travel by plane at the beginning of the summer vacation.

Now the airlines Eurowings, Condor and Tuifly are examining claims for damages. A spokesman for Eurowings announced that the airline intends to assert claims for damages. All other affected airlines of Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Eurowings) also want to make claims for damages.

According to the Hamburg aviation expert Gerald Wissel, the lawsuits could include a sum of several million euros. "Since hotels had to be booked for passengers, ticket revenue, replacement aircraft had to be found, other crews had to be used - a lot comes together," says Wissel.

against nine accused is determined for property damage and trespass. They had cut a fence, penetrated the roller fields and stuck near the starting and landingways.

The Düsseldorf Airport also checks possible claims for compensation. The exact amount of the damage to the airport fence and the lost revenue due to the interruption of flight operations has not yet been concluded.

In addition, the Düsseldorf Airport has filed a criminal complaint for "dangerous interference in air traffic, disruption of public companies, property damage, coercion and trespass". In the event of a conviction for dangerous intervention in air traffic, the accused threatens a punishment of up to ten years in prison.

The Düsseldorf public prosecutor is investigating property damage and trespassing. However, there is currently no sufficient evidence of a dangerous interference in air traffic, since there was no concrete danger to life, life or things of significant value. The planes were diverted in time or could not even start.
