Is air traffic recovering after the corona pandemic?

There are numerous flights at Bavaria's airports during the Easter holidays.

Munich – Bayern travel more again.

At Munich Airport*, the airlines registered around 13,000 take-offs and landings over the two weeks of the Easter holidays.

That corresponds to about 70 percent of the level over Easter in the pre-Corona year 2019, as a spokesman said.

Busiest days are the Fridays at the beginning and end of the two-week school vacation, with nearly 800 take-offs and landings each.

Easter holidays also in Bavaria: ADAC expects traffic jams

There will also be a lot going on on the streets.

Eight federal states and all of Austria are starting the Easter holidays, "which will lead to heavy traffic on the metropolitan motorways and the most important travel routes on Friday afternoon and Saturday," as the ADAC announced.

"Most holidaymakers go to the Alps, to southern countries or to the coast." You can read in our overview which routes are likely to be particularly stressed.*

Actually, the Airbus should fly to Singapore on Sunday.

However, he only got as far as Lower Franconia, where he dumped 75 tons of kerosene and then flew back.* This kind of thing happens quite often.
