Another pioneer of the airport in Erdinger Moos less: On September 1st, the long-time spokesman for the police department at Munich Airport, Hans-Peter Kammerer, retired.
Airport / Ingolstadt - The 61-year-old native of Upper Palatinate, who looks back on almost 43 years of service, was most recently head of the presidential office and spokesman for the Upper Bavaria North Police Headquarters in Ingolstadt.
The airport appeared to Kammerer, who is married and has two grown children, when it opened in 1992 for personal reasons: The family lives in Unterschleißheim.
It was only a stone's throw to the new office.
The chief police officer experienced some of its most explosive missions at Moos Airport.
So he can still remember the hostage situation in 2004.
As is well known, it came to a spectacular end: A witness kicked the hijacker out of the machine.
After a free fall onto the apron, the perpetrator could easily be overwhelmed.
“Although the airport always required solutions for complex security tasks, it was almost free of social problems that could not be solved by the police and equipped with its own, always vacation-like atmosphere - very close to the two runways to the wide world,” recalls Kammerer in an interview our newspaper.
When he said goodbye to Ingolstadt police chief Günther Gietl, Kammerer frankly admitted that he had always felt the smell of kerosene as a scent.
Journalists praise his open manner and understanding of their work.
