For those who weren't aware.....Frankfurt operates four runways.
At some point on Monday, the management folks were approached and asked by Lufthansa to give up parking space for several hundred of their planes. The Airport thought about it, and ended up shutting down the NW runway entirely, and parking all of these jets there.
Affect on operations? Zero. The vast majority of flights at the airport have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
Normally, from my house (within 30 km of the airport), I'd hear various flights overhead (particularly at 6 AM). The last week? It's been fairly quiet.
