All three airlines are examining lawsuits, according to a preliminary report by the “Rheinische Post”. Düsseldorf Airport had previously announced that it wanted to sue the activists for occupying the runway on July 13.

Several million euros in damage

The Hamburg aviation expert Gerald Wissel estimated that the lawsuits would amount to several million euros. “All in all, there can be claims for damages of several million euros,” he said. “We had to book hotels for passengers, there was a loss of ticket income, replacement aircraft had to be found, other crews had to be deployed, and there was a lot going on.” A total of 48 flights were canceled and two were diverted.
