Flight operations to resume after hostage situation ends
Following the end of the hostage-taking at Hamburg Airport, the airport is planning to resume flight operations as quickly as possible. "Preparations are underway for the fastest possible resumption of flight operations," it said on the airport's website on Sunday. "We are in close coordination with the security forces as to when the access roads and terminals will be reopened." The armed man who crashed his car and his four-year-old child onto the apron of the airport on Saturday evening was arrested after more than 18 hours.
Despite the successful resolution of the hostage situation, air traffic control must ensure strict safety measures to prevent any potential air traffic disruptions. Meanwhile, authorities should also increase patrols around the airport to deter any criminal activities related to the incident.
