Carsten Spohr, CEO of Germany’s leading airline Lufthansa, harshly criticized Munich Airport, labeling it as “the worst in Europe.” According to a report in the German magazine Spiegel, the basis of Spohr’s criticism lies in the long queues at the airport’s security checkpoints. In recent times, passengers have been forced to wait for hours, with lines stretching up to two kilometers.
Long Queues Spark Outrage
Social media posts show images of passengers standing in security queues that stretch for kilometers. The issue has worsened, especially during the busy summer months. Spohr expressed his frustration, calling the situation “unacceptable.”
Lufthansa Moving Planes Back to Frankfurt
The operational issues at Munich Airport have prompted Lufthansa to make changes. Aircraft that were moved to Munich last year to increase the number of long-haul flights will now be relocated back to Frankfurt due to the ongoing problems. Company officials say that this decision is primarily aimed at improving passenger satisfaction.
Munich Airport management has announced that they will take steps to speed up the security control process to resolve the situation.
