Munich

- A man at

Munich Airport

caused a

departure to be

interrupted

.

The 51-year-old therefore vehemently refused

to adhere

to the valid

Corona * regulations

.

According to the police, the man from the Netherlands wanted

to travel

from

Munich

to South Africa

on Thursday (January 14)

.

The start of the

Lufthansa plane

was scheduled around 11 p.m.

After

boarding was

completed and all passengers had taken their seats, the

boarding staff noticed

the 51-year-old who was sitting in his seat without the prescribed mouth and nose protection.

Munich Airport: man refuses mouth and nose protection - pilot aborts take-off

The Dutchman did not comply with the repeated request to create one.

Although the doors were already closed and the

aircraft was

moving across the

tarmac in the

direction of the take-off position, the

pilot

decided to

abort the take-off of the aircraft.

The machine then returned to its original position.

Four police officers from the

federal police

station at Munich Airport

were already waiting there

for the stubborn 51-year-old.

trip * ended

at the police station.

Corona rules refused: pilot at Munich Airport interrupts machine start due to lack of mouth and nose protection

The

plane

finally

continued on its way to

South Africa

with a delay and without the Dutchman.

This now has to answer for a violation according to the Aviation Security Act *.

It

is currently unclear

whether the Dutchman

refused

mouth and nose protection *

before

boarding

or only took it off on the plane.

According to the press spokesman for the

airport

police, no information is currently available.

If so, it would be questionable how the man could get into the

machine

at all

.

Whether the airline excludes the man of the future more flights, or whether the 51-year-old having considered and compliance with all

Corona *

rules

allowed to fly again, the incumbent

airline

.

A man without the mask required due to the corona pandemic already caught the attention of the federal police last year at Munich Airport - and the officials were amazed.

The corona situation remains tense.

As of Monday, an FFP2 mask is mandatory in Bavaria *.

But are there any stricter rules coming soon?
