Scandal at Karlsruhe Airport: Passengers miss flights for chaos!
At Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, there are currently repeated difficulties in security controls that not only interfere with the processes, but also cause displeasure when it comes to passengers. According to
bottlenecks and queues
The effects of the lack of personnel feel the travelers clearly: Due to short -term sick reports, not all checkpoints are occupied, which leads to long waiting times. In the first half of 2025, the airport estimated that around 700 passengers missed their flight. 346 passengers alone have claimed claims for missed flights, such as the Tagesschau reported. Feedback from passengers show that many have to find a good 90 to 120 minutes before boarding at the checkpoint, which is not always sufficient to get to the plane on time. The airport operator even recommends being 2.5 to 3 hours before departure.
Enlightenment requested
The situation has aroused the interest of politics: the CDU and FDP are calling for comprehensive information from the state government. The CDU parliamentary group submitted an application with 15 questions about the personnel situation and specialist supervision, while the FDP also made an inquiry to the state government. Managing Director Uwe Kotzan expressed concerns about the image of the airport, while the Stuttgart regional council strives to increase the staff at the service provider.
strategies for improvement
In order to improve the situation in the long term, seven additional control forces have already been discontinued on April 1, and four others will start their training in July. The regional council recognizes the shortage of skilled workers as one of the main reasons for the problems. It is publicly pointed out that the five airport control traces should be sufficient with optimal occupation. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether this can satisfy the waiting passengers.
It remains exciting that the challenges at German airports are not isolated. An article by DetailsOrt Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, Deutschland Quellen
