Hahn (AP) - Hahn Hunsrück Airport crashed extremely in the passenger business in the Corona month of February 2021 compared to the same month last year.

At the same time, it posted a plus above the industry average in the freight business.

The number of passengers fell by 90.9 percent to 7,281, as the Association of German Airports (ADV) announced on Monday.

Regarding the nationwide location of the airports, she said that the demand from passengers remains “far from normal.

The political demand to forego unnecessary travel barely allows mobility. "

In the Hunsrück, for example, on Monday (March 29), according to the online flight schedule, only one flight was planned from Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina to Hahn Airport and back.

According to the ADV, the airport's freight business remains on a growth path, driven by the booming online trade, the additional need for vaccines and medical goods and the limited number of containers in maritime transport.

While there was a nationwide increase of 14.6 percent to 396 556 tons of air freight in February, Hahn Airport even increased by 67.5 percent to 20 839 tons.

He has a coveted night flight permit.

The main owner of the Hunsrück airport, the Chinese group HNA, recently filed for bankruptcy.

The airport is now to be rebuilt.

In 2017, HNA bought 82.5 percent of Hahn Airport from the state of Rhineland-Palatinate for around 15 million euros.

The state of Hesse holds the remaining 17.5 percent.

The airport and the Chinese state assured that nothing would change in airport operations.
