However, approximately 70 travelers could not reach their destination because they could never obtain their boarding pass. The reason ? There weren’t enough counters, which created huge queues. Passengers who had arrived 4.30 hours early were even concerned. Exceeded, some people even came to blows.
Is it Lufthansa’s fault?
After waiting a while, the pilots finally decided to leave without all of their passengers. The plane to Brussels left at 8:58 am and the one to Frankfurt at 8:29 am, according to le site Flightradar24.

The plane must undoubtedly have to leave according to imperatives, such as the connections”, indicated the airport.
