Cologne/Bonn Airport: Flight cancellations and long waiting times at the weekend!

Bonn, Deutschland - On January 11, 2025, there will be considerable impairments in air traffic at Cologne/Bonn Airport. A personnel bottleneck means that numerous flights are canceled or late. In particular, the security controls and check-in are affected by regular delays. Air travelers are therefore encouraged to inform themselves about their flights before arriving.

like Tonight.de reported, the measures are related to previous warning strikes. The Verdi union called on March 14, 2024 to a warning strike that affected all air traffic from and to Cologne/Bonn. Flights were either canceled or redirected, with only a few started to start regularly. The situation normalized on March 15, 2024. A warning strike at Lufthansa also had negative effects on the airports in North Rhine-Westphalia in the period from March 7th to 9th, 2024.

Information on security control

passengers have the option of optimizing their waiting time at the security controls. As koeln-bonn-airport.de , travelers can book a personalized time window for security control free of charge. This booking is possible up to 72 hours via the "Cgngateway" system and at least one hour before departure. Time windows can be booked every quarter of an hour, depending on availability.

At the central security check in Terminal 1, there is a separately accessible control track for the gateway guests for the booked time, within a time frame of plus or minus 10 minutes. This system is intended to make the occupancy of security controls more even and reduce waiting times for the control tracks.
