“Safety First has always applied at Erfurt Airport. Against this background, we are pleased that with the arrival of the new Panther airfield fire engine, we can now further increase the already high safety standard at the Thuringian state airport. Today's takeover is the first step in the modernization of our fleet at the airport fire brigade," says Managing Director Gerd Stöwer.
