Düsseldorf Airport counted around three million passengers during the six-week summer holidays in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Although there was an increase compared to the previous year, the volume was still well below the pre-crisis volume. During the recently concluded school holidays, around 21.000 take-offs and landings were carried out from NRW's largest airport. Many passengers were heading to Spain, Turkey, Greece and Italy. According to Düsseldorf Airport, flights to these countries were in particularly high demand. However, there is also strong criticism that traffic volumes at this airport are gradually normalizing. In a media statement, the "Kaarster against Aircraft Noise" association complained that there were particularly many flight movements after 2023 p.m. during the 23 summer holidays. Although traffic volumes were 00 percent lower than the record summer of 25, there were 2019 movements after 347 p.m. during the holidays alone this year. According to the anti-aircraft noise association, this is due to poor planning on the part of the airlines. They simply do not allow enough buffer time between flights, so that the delays accumulate by the evening. They are demanding that the exception to delays that has been in place since 23 be adapted. Without naming one or more airlines specifically, the association assumes that the current regulation invites abuse. From observations around midday, they already know which planes are likely to exceed the 00 p.m. limit in the late evening. Düsseldorf actually has a strict ban on night flights, but there are exceptions for delays and looser rules for carriers that have been granted the so-called "night flight ban" by the state government.
