Frankfurt am Main (Rhein-Main AB) (FRA / EDDF / FRF)
Germany - April 18, 2010
Caption
The complete maintenance base is blocked, outside positions are full of Lufthansa widebodies and only the terminal is empty. If you take a closer look a lonesome Austrian A321 is holding the fort. Thanks to Eyjafjallajökull for this once-in-a-hundred-years event! If you think controllers have no work to do then ask for VFR traffic crossing the field every second. Even sailplanes were around today!

Amazing, it looks like a massive Gemini Jets collection.

I hope the situation is brought back under control soon so we can get Europe moving again.
