"Dusseldorf airport applies for permission for more take-offs and landings"

Dusseldorf airport applies for permission for more take-offs and
landings
(Mehr Starts und Landungen geplant)
GERMANY - FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG


Flughafen Dusseldorf, the company that operates Dusseldorf airport,
Germany, is planning to apply for a change in the regulations governing
the operation of the airport, so that more take-offs and landings will
be possible. The company has already applied for 140,000 slots during
the six busiest months of the year; in practice, however, only a little
over 100,000 take-offs and landings will be possible, due to the fact
that no more than 38 take-offs and landings are allowed per hour.

The company is now hoping to raise this figure to 45, which it believes
is a fair compromise between the airport's need to expand and the
requests of local residents. However, a citizens' action group from the
town of Ratingen, located near the airport, has said that it intends to
take legal action immediately if the number of take-offs and landings
per hour is raised to 45. Dusseldorf airport is the third largest
airport in Germany.
