Improvements Planned at FKB Airport to Address Flight Misses and Enhance Security

The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport has announced that changes are on the horizon for Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (FKB), following a high number of missed flights in the first half of 2025.

Approximately 700 passengers missed their flights at FKB Airport, leading to concerns about the airport's efficiency and security. To address these issues, the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart is coordinating additional security staff at FKB Airport, financed through the aviation security fee.

The state is providing 2.4 million euros to address the issue at short notice. This funding will be used to create more security lanes in front of the gates at FKB Airport, as well as to provide modern screening equipment.

The changes are intended to improve the experience for passengers at FKB Airport, with the aim of reducing the number of missed flights. In addition to the increased staff and improved facilities, a reserve of personnel will help cover staff shortages at the security lanes in the future.

Short-term staffing will also be possible in case of employee absences at FKB Airport. The plans for improvements at FKB Airport are expected to take about six months to implement.

The aviation security fee will be used to refinance the investments made at FKB Airport, meaning that the passenger will foot the bill for the improvements. The coordination of these improvements is part of a larger effort to enhance security at airports across Germany.

The pool of security personnel planned at FKB Airport is just one example of the measures being taken to improve airport security and efficiency. With the changes expected to take place at FKB Airport, passengers can look forward to a smoother and more secure travel experience in the future.
