Hahn (dpa) - Hahn Hunsrück Airport suffered a significant decline in passenger numbers last year, mainly because of the pandemic.
At the same time, his freight business has been on the rise.
Compared to 2019, the number of passengers in 2020 fell by 70.8 percent to 436,862, as the Working Group of German Airports (ADV) announced on Tuesday.
At the same time, the freight business increased by 36.1 percent to 232 998 tons.
The former US military airport has a coveted night flight permit.
He also benefits from cargo that would have been flown as an additional load on passenger flights before Corona.
The main owner of Hahn Airport, the Chinese group HNA, filed for bankruptcy last Friday.
The conglomerate is to be restructured.
In 2017, HNA bought 82.5 percent of the Hunsrück Airport from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate for around 15 million euros.
The remaining 17.5 percent belong to the state of Hesse.
The Hahn management assured their employees on Friday that nothing would change in airport operations in the Hunsrück.
