Drunk hooligans at Stuttgart Airport: Police send them home!
An incident occurred at Stuttgart Airport on Thursday evening that caused a stir. Two young men, aged 21 and 23, were barred from their flight. The reason for this was her heavy drinking. After being banned from the plane, the two continued to harass other passengers in the terminal. The Leinfelden-Echterdingen police were informed and quickly took action to de-escalate the situation.
The police patrol expelled the men and eventually escorted them out of the airport building. This incident not only caused unrest among the affected passengers, but also created a tense atmosphere at the terminal. Despite these incidents, the rest of operations at the airport continued largely as normal.
Security incident on Monday morning
Two days later, early on Monday morning, the federal police had to deploy to Stuttgart Airport. An unauthorized person gained access to the security area, which led to the evacuation of this sensitive area. Fortunately, it turned out that there was never a threat to aviation security. However, the incident caused delays in operations and affected around ten to twelve flights by mid-morning.
The security area was finally reopened at around 6 a.m. All passengers who had passed through the area since security opened at 4 a.m. had to be checked again. Interestingly, the delays were not related to the warning strikes called by Verdi at some airports in North Rhine-Westphalia.
These two incidents – the exclusion of the drunk men and the security incident – illustrate the challenges that Stuttgart Airport is currently facing. The security situation and compliance with regulations are of utmost importance to the airport authorities to ensure a safe journey for all passengers. The rapid response by the police in both cases shows that security precautions are taken seriously and the airport is concerned about the safety of its passengers.
For more information about the incidents reported Stuttgart News about the drunken passengers while Schwäbische.de addresses the security uncertainties. In both cases, it remains to be seen how authorities will respond to similar incidents in the future.
