Parking costs for a Russian jumbo jet are now in six figures

A jumbo jet under Russian control has not been allowed to take off from Hahn Airport in Rhineland-Palatinate for more than six months. According to the insolvent airport, this has resulted in a six-figure parking fee – every day it's around 1,200 euros again. The large cargo plane, a Boeing 747, which landed in the Hunsrück for the airline Cargologicair UK in spring 2022, remains stuck here indefinitely. The background is the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

The state operation mobility (LBM), as aviation and air security authority for Rhineland-Palatinate, informed the German press agency on request: "The airline and its aircraft are subject to EU sanctions, and in this respect the B 747 is still at the airport Frankfurt-Hahn." Any efforts by the airline to free the jumbo jet from the Hunsrück "are not known to us," added the authority.

The machine had a maintenance stay at the insolvent Hahn Airport, for most of which a Frankfurt company has now signed a purchase agreement. The State of Hesse holds a minority share.

The Federal Ministry of Transport also emphasized: "The EU's restrictive measures against Russia due to the war in Ukraine continue." Therefore, the take-off and flight ban against the jumbo jet "of Cargologic UK with the registration G-CLBA" continues. In April, the ministry said the airline was owned by two Russian citizens. The airline could not immediately be reached for comment.

The spokesman for the insolvency administrator Jan Markus Plathner said in April about the parking fees on the apron of Hahn Airport: “We charge a daily parking fee of three euros per tonne of maximum take-off weight. With this aircraft, that’s around 400 tons, so the parking fee is around 1,200 euros per day.”
