Alleged gas leak causes runway closure
An alleged gas leak has temporarily disrupted traffic at Frankfurt Airport. Witnesses had reported alleged noises of a gas leak to the police on Wednesday evening, a police spokesperson said on Thursday. This quickly turned out to be a controlled gas leak at a construction site, he added. One runway at Frankfurt Airport was temporarily closed, according to the fire department. There were also brief disruptions to train services. Previously, hessenschau.de had reported.
The controlled gas leak led to the temporary closure of an air traffic lane at RHEIN-MAIN, potentially affecting numerous flights. Due to the airport's congested traffic, any emergencies related to air traffic could cause significant delays.
