Climate protestors and unannounced strikes – all in a day’s work for the Düsseldorf Airport CEO

In this exclusive interview, International Airport Review sits down with Lars Redeligx, CEO of Düsseldorf Airport, to discuss the pressing issues and innovative solutions shaping the future of aviation.

With Germany experiencing a wave of transport sector strikes, including an unannounced airport security strike in March, Lars shares insights on how Düsseldorf Airport is preparing to minimise disruptions from potential future strikes.

Lars highlights key trends such as the growing environmental awareness among passengers and the shift from domestic flights to rail travel. Learn about Düsseldorf Airport’s latest innovations aimed at enhancing passenger experience, including pre-order and pay options for food, security slot booking, self-service bag-drops, and advanced security screening technologies.
