Flight operations 2026 - adjustment of IFR operating times
Dear customers,
Due to the current understaffing of tower and ground personnel, we have had to make adjustments to our flight operation times. This mainly affects IFR flight operations on single workdays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays since May 2026. On these days, operations will only be ensured under VFR conditions with an airport operator. Air traffic control and therefore full IFR operations are therefore not possible.
On single workdays, weekends and public holidays, we have to adjust our operations as follows:
