Boeing: Supply bottlenecks and new requirements slow production

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing continues to struggle with component supply bottlenecks and new requirements from China that are affecting its production.

Petition failed: No restrictions on night flights in Nuremberg

Residents living near Nuremberg Airport have turned to the State Parliament's Transport Committee with a request to restrict night-time take-offs and landings. However, several petitions were rejected at Tuesday's meeting when committee members from the CSU and Free Voters declined to consider them. Unlike other Bavarian airports such as Munich and Memmingen, where restrictions apply to night-time flights, Nuremberg Airport allows flight operations throughout the night - with the exception of minor restrictions. For Wednesday alone, 6 take-offs were planned between midnight and 00:14 a.m., mainly holiday flights to the Mediterranean or Egypt. The government factions justified their opposition to a night-time flight ban by saying that this could endanger the business model of the airport, which is funded half by the Free State of Bavaria and half by the city of Nuremberg. Committee members from the SPD and the Greens, on the other hand, argued that holiday flights could also take place during the day and that residents had a right to a good night's rest. They stressed that there was no obvious reason why citizens in the Nuremberg area were less entitled to this right than people living near Memmingen and Munich airports.

DFS introduces new departure procedure at Stuttgart Airport

Since February 2023, the DFS (German Air Traffic Control) has been testing a new departure procedure in Stuttgart in which flights turn south earlier. From June 13, 2024, air traffic control will now officially adopt the so-called "TEDGO" procedure at Stuttgart Airport for operations heading east into regular operation. The "TEDGO" departure procedure will be retained at Stuttgart Airport, as announced by the Federal Supervisory Office for Air Traffic Control (BAF) and the DFS German Air Traffic Control. The decision was made despite discussions in the aircraft noise commission for Stuttgart Airport, as the procedure causes less noise and CO2, according to the DFS. The new procedure, named after the waypoint "TEDGO", was adopted after a trial operation. It includes a shortened straight flight before a right turn to the south compared to the previous departure procedure from runway 07 in an easterly direction. Although the new procedure flies over some different areas than the old one, according to the BAF, the shifted curve leads to an overall lower level of aircraft noise pollution, as the new route runs more over wooded areas. The "TEDGO" procedure is therefore intended to represent a more efficient and at the same time more environmentally friendly departure route for flights from Stuttgart Airport.
