Air traffic: SPD parliamentary group deputy Zorn rejects more flight rights for Emirates
On Thursday, the President of the United Arab Emirates will be visiting the Chancellery. Is air traffic also on the agenda?
SPD parliamentary deputy Armand Zorn has expressed concerns about expanding take-off and landing opportunities for Emirates at German airports. He emphasized the need to carefully examine the conditions under which competition would take place and the impact on German companies and employees. Zorn's comments come ahead of a state visit by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, who will meet Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin on Thursday.
The German government has been discussing additional traffic rights for Emirates, with the possibility of operating at Berlin's BER airport having been raised in February. Lufthansa has opposed further licensing for Emirates in Germany.
