Procedures for Parking/Securing Aircraft on the GAT1 Apron During Strong Winds or Storms
To ensure and improve operational safety, we would like to draw your attention to an important regulation regarding the securing of parked or stowed aircraft.
Part II, Section 2.6 of the Hannover-Langenhagen Airport Regulations states:
“The responsibility for securing a parked or stowed aircraft lies with the aircraft owner, the handling agent, or the responsible maintenance organization.”
This securing obligation applies during weather warnings (strong winds, storms, and thunderstorms), particularly for aircraft parked outdoors.
To prevent damage, we would therefore like to kindly remind you to take the necessary securing measures for your aircraft on your own responsibility.
Alternatively, you may hire a service provider for a fee. Please note that if you hire a service provider, we absolutely require your specifications for securing the aircraft.
This information is essential for the proper and compliant execution of the securing process.
We can only carry out the assignment accordingly based on your securing specifications.
The following service providers are available to you:
In this case, a description of the aircraft-specific safety measures must be provided.
