Frankfurt Airport

If you look at the numbers....it's mostly at a shut-down stage.

For the whole of the past week (seven days)....46,000 passengers walked through the airport.  This time last year.....in a normal average single day, it would have been near 193,000.

The runways?  Two are being used for 'parking-space' for unused aircraft, with one runway under renovation, and only one actual runway being used presently.

Employees actually working?  Presently, only 4,000 are showing up for work....with almost 18,000 on short-time or furlough type situations.

Odds of anything changing in April or May?  Pretty much a zero situation.  I can imagine things picking up in June/July timeframe.  But the bulk of the 18,000 people 'off' right now.....will likely continue through all of the summer period.
