The planned airport
Currently, we are planning the new airport which is supposed to be opened in fall of 2010. We are testing different ground-breaking systems that simulate the start and landing process of the aircrafts.
However, it’s certain that the airport will have an extensive Carsystem. There won’t any staging areas but the vehicles will stay in their correspondent depots. Besides a well equipped airport fire department, there will be a volume of busses, catering vehicles, tank trucks, pumps and fresh water vehicles, push-back vehicles…. The airport section will be attached to the section of Knuffingen, so that the charging station (it has been expanded to 32 spots) is being shared. Moreover, the fire department of Knuffingen will support the airport’s department with up to 40 fire engines in case of emergency landings. Additionally, the delivery vehicles will supply the airport from Knuffingen.
Estimated data at present:
Approx. 400 meters of road, approx. 200 junctions, a maximum of 200 vehicles
