Despite announcements detailing wholesale realignments for the HNA Group, this does not affect the operation of the Hunsrück-based airport and its operating company, stresses the Hahn management.
“The German company continues to fulfill its obligations in full and will continue to do so in the future,” it continues in a letter to employees on Friday.
German Press Agency (DpA) published the letter in full over the weekend; “the measures introduced in China have no effect on our activities. Nothing will change in our cooperation with all airlines, customers, authorities and partners. “
HNA announced the company bankruptcy on Friday afternoon. Hunsrück Airport Hahn is 82.5 percent owned by HNA and 17.5 percent by the state of Hesse.
Rhineland-Pfalz’s Ministry of the Interior has asked the Chinese Consul General in Frankfurt for information about the possible effects of the HNA bankruptcy will have on Hahn Airport.
The remote hub has been in a weak position for years - Covid-19 put a particularly strong damper on its passenger business.
By contrast, the numbers in the freight business have developed positively. The former US military airport has a coveted night flight permit.
For the time being, the Hahn management chose not to comment further.
