For eighteen hours, Europe watched Hamburg with concern: a perpetrator drove his Audi onto the airport platform and barricaded himself with his daughter (4) next to a Turkish Airlines plane. The situation was delicate and leaves one question unanswered: would such an attack also be possible at other airports? The answers from Austrian and German aviation experts are worrying.
The terminals were evacuated, the airport was cordoned off and no aircraft was allowed to take off or land at “Hamburg Airport Helmut Schmidt”. Austrian Airlines aircraft were also affected.
Vienna-Schwechat Airport is approximately twice as large in terms of area and passenger capacity as the airport in Northern Germany (11 million passengers per year) and is also an international hub where dozens of international airlines transport passengers every day.
