There could soon be no passenger flights from Bremen Airport if the Greens have their way.
The party is involved in the government in Bremen.
She wants to check whether the airport can be converted into a factory airport for Airbus and other companies in the aerospace industry.
This emerges from the board draft for the election program for the state election in May 2023.
The program is to be adopted at a state party conference on Saturday.
Many passenger flights from Bremen are short routes to Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich or Amsterdam, said Country Manager Florian Pfeffer.
Better rail connections could make them superfluous.
The question is also how much tax money the people in Bremen and Bremerhaven want to put into the loss-making airport.
The airport is used by the aircraft industry and as a model location for the development of climate-neutral air traffic.
The green election program focuses on energy transition and climate protection, sustainable use of scarce space, education and poverty reduction, said co-state spokeswoman Alexandra Werwarth.
Almost 800 amendments to the draft had been received from the membership.
If there are around 20 questions, she expects debates and votes at the state general meeting.
In the smallest federal state, the state parliament, the Bremen Parliament, will be re-elected on May 14, 2023.
