FC Bayern actually wanted to travel to the Club World Cup from Berlin directly after the Bundesliga match against Hertha BSC.
But nothing came of it.
FC Bayern * wanted to fly from Berlin to the Club World Cup immediately after the game against Hertha BSC *.
But the machine was not allowed to start at first.
The people of Munich had to wait for hours at BER Airport.
With a seven-hour delay and a detour, we went to Doha.
Update from February 6, 4:52 p.m.:
In the meantime, FC Bayern has arrived in Qatar.
After the complicated journey, the team and supervisors first had to undergo a corona test at the airport, as the club announced.
Then it went to the hotel.
The players were not allowed to leave their rooms until a negative test result was presented.
The former club president Uli Hoeneß called the flight mess a "scandal without end".
In the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation, the 69-year-old described the refusal of permission to start as “the insolence of those responsible” and “incomprehensible”.
After all, Munich would represent German football at the tournament in Qatar.
This is "an important story".
Update from February 6, 2021, 2 p.m.:
With great anticipation for the Club World Cup in Qatar, the Bayern players boarded the Qatar Airways QR 7402 plane in Berlin late on Friday evening. But the mood quickly turned after the permission to take off BER Airport was not granted.
The problem: According to the Berlin Ministry of Infrastructure and Planning carried out the
request for start release until about 12:03
.
The German air traffic control did not issue this with a view to the night flight restrictions, it said in a statement on Saturday.
From midnight there is a five-hour flight ban at BER Airport.
According to the
picture,
at
this point the aircraft was
already on the tarmac ready for take-off.
Until 1:20 a.m., attempts were still made to get a permit for the departure.
However, the efforts were unsuccessful and so the machine had to return to the terminal.
"Exceptions are granted in justified individual cases, in particular if there is a significant public interest that makes the execution of a flight necessary or the flight is necessary for the maintenance of public safety and order," the message said.
Bitter for FC Bayern: The team had to spend the night on the plane, they hardly slept, as the
picture
reports.
It wasn't until around seven o'clock that the machine finally started and first flew to Munich.
The team is now on the way to Doha.

FC Bayern Munich: No take-off permission at BER Airport
According to BER Airport, the plane should have been ready to take off at 11:59 p.m.
“From our point of view, nothing spoke against the plane taking off as planned,” said airport spokeswoman Sabine Deckwerth on Saturday to the
German press agency
.
Then at midnight the hammer: The start permit is missing!
This is generally issued by air traffic control.
However, the Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning is legally responsible when it comes to exemptions during the night flight ban.
In the case of a night flight ban, a machine must have taken off at the time it begins.
"Regular scheduled flights in the core night time from midnight to 5 am are excluded," says the BER homepage.
Instead of landing in sunny Qatar around Saturday morning, it started early in cold Berlin - and via Munich to Doha.
National player Leon Goretzka and Spaniard Javi Martínez were not on board.
They were missing from the 22-man squad.
Both have to pause because of positive coronavirus tests.
"We have to look at it from day to day," emphasized coach Hansi Flick *.
"It looks a little better with Leon, with Javi it probably won't be enough."
The time to get used to on site has become shorter for Bayern due to the departure delay.
As the European Champions League winners, they will meet Al Ahly SC from Egypt in the semi-finals on Monday.
The final will be played on Thursday next week.
