In February 2023, over 100 flights were cancelled on one day of the strike, and in January, numerous flights were cancelled due to a warning strike at Düsseldorf Airport.

Düsseldorf Airport: Bookable time slots at the security checkpoints
The high demand at airports has caused a lot of chaos and long waiting times in recent years. During the Corona pandemic, many airports experienced major job cuts and staff absences due to illness. Especially in summer, but also in autumn and winter 2022, the airport had to contend with overcrowded queues in front of the counters and security areas.
The airport wants to prevent further chaos in the future and has therefore already presented a large package of measures in spring 2023. With the “Off-Block” program, new services for air travelers were introduced. Among other things, guests should book time slots for the check-in 72 hours before departure. A new priority lane has also been set up at the counter. You can find out what else has changed for guests since then here.
