This emerges from a compromise paper that line ministries and government groups agreed on in Berlin.

For the reimbursement of costs for keeping airports open at the beginning of the corona pandemic.

The prerequisites for the support of the federal government are that the respective states make a subsidy of the same amount, no dividends are distributed for 2020 and no bonuses are paid to managing directors and board members of the operating companies.

The Ministry of Finance did not want to specify how much Saxony contributed to the rescue operation.
