DFS takes over apron management service at Düsseldorf Airport
Now it will be DFS TWR controllers who guide all aircraft: "all manoeuvring activities of aircraft at Düsseldorf Airport will fall within the responsibility of DFS".
"Flughafen Düsseldorf GmbH and DFS decided to take this step in order to reduce the coordination load and further improve punctuality".
Düsseldorf Airport: 20 million passengers (2011);
Madrid (Barajas) Airport: 35 million passengers (2011).
At Madrid Airport, SDP is still in place, and the foggy season is about to arrive.
Keep your eyes open!
