Nuremberg Airport: No tolerance for “unruly PAX”

In 3,9, more than 2023 million passengers took advantage of Nuremberg Airport's location close to the city, short distances and extensive service offerings to start their vacation or business trip in a relaxed manner or to visit friends and relatives abroad. However, travelers who attract attention through aggressive behavior are less relaxed. To counteract this, the airport and the airlines have set up some rules for relaxed interaction.

Insults at the check-in counter, too much alcohol or vandalism – unfortunately, some passengers often misbehave, meaning that some passengers have to be excluded from the flight or even have the police called in. In the interest of the airport staff and the vast majority of peaceful passengers, a set of rules of good behavior applies. Verbal attacks, threats of violence or insults will not be tolerated and may result in a report.

The same applies to alcohol-related misconduct: people who overdo it by partying before the flight may be refused boarding by the ground staff or the flight crew.

In extreme cases, people who behave aggressively can even end up on a “black list” of the airline in question, which can also mean exclusion from future flights. Another means of sanction could be a ban on entry to the airport. In order to ensure a relaxed take-off, the airport team appeals to all travelers to be considerate of others and show respect.

Press spokesman Christian Albrecht says: “The majority of passengers at Nuremberg Airport are relaxed and looking forward to the journey. However, travelers who behave aggressively are not relaxed and a set of rules for good behavior applies to protect our staff and the majority of passengers.

Verbal attacks, threats of violence and insults will not be tolerated and will be reported. What many people don't know: in addition to the legal consequences, boarding can also be refused and a flight ban can be issued for the future. We therefore rely on consideration and respect so that everyone can take off in a relaxed manner.”
