Apron personnel at EDDF airport will be on strike on 16th February
Thursday, 16th February, 2012
Apron personnel (non ATC) at EDDF will be on strike from 1400-2300 UTC on 16th Feb.
Due to industrial action of apron control (non ATC) and marshalling service we will expect significant capacity constrains and delays at EDDF (Frankfurt-Main).
The strike will commence 12:00UTC on 16th February and will last until 23:00UTC 16th February.
A regulation has already been applied for arrivals from 1100-2300 valid on 16th Feb:
- normal EDDF arrival rate applied from 1100-1315.
- From 1315-1345 ZERO RATE is in force and no arrivals/departures will be allowed due to Apron personnel shift change.
- From 1345-2300 the arrival rate will be 25/60.
Very high delays are expected after 1400 for arrivals and departures.
The mentioned arrival regulation could be rectified tomorrow by suspending all the flights but it is highly likely that the strike will be repeated on 17th Feb from 0700 UTC until 2100 UTC
The EDDF night curfew will start at 2300.
