For years, only to finally realize that he had nowhere to go - except to the game No Limits. "In the new show, we enter clubs, relax on Venice Beach and ride a surfboard to the Wild West, where there is a wild brawl in the saloon.

Annual figures: Frankfurt-Hahn with 1,7 million passengers

In the recently concluded year 2023, Frankfurt-Hahn Airport had around 1,7 million passengers. This represents an increase of around 21 percent compared to the previous period.

Since spring 2023, this regional airport has been owned and operated by the Triwo group of companies. According to the announcement, the destinations Palma de Mallorca, Malaga, Tirana, Dublin and Skopje were particularly in demand last year.
