CAT-Letter - Monthly Civil Aviation Traffic Newsletter

Editorial Ausgabe 26:

In dieser Ausgabe beschränkt sich der aktuelle Info-Teil hauptsächlich auf die Reg-News. Einige Rubriken fallen diesmal aus Zeitgründen ganz aus, die Airline Rubrik wird in der nächsten Ausgabe umfänglich nachgeholt (ich hoffe es klappt). Neue Strecken bei den Airlines fallen ab sofort ganz weg, da es zu zeitaufwendig ist. Gerade jetzt ist wieder die Zeit, wo halt viel Arbeit aufgrund von sehr vielen Betreiberwechseln (Stichwort Sommersaison) entsteht. Um aktuell zu sein, wollte ich nicht mit einer Doppelausgabe warten, zumal in etwa 4 Wochen die Situation noch ähnlich sein dürfte.

Im Zeichen der „internen“ Rahmenbedingungen trotzdem viel Spaß und hoffentlich auch Wissenswertes mit Ausgabe Nummer 26.

Please do not use ladders on Spotting Points Zeppelinheim / RWY 25L and Runway 18!

Bitte benutzt keine Leitern an den Aussichtspunkten RWY 25L / Zeppelinheim und Startbahn 18!
