00:00:00bring them from their homes, board a plane and then they have a little package with them, I brought
00:00:03you books here and it's been like
00:00:07this, it's worked like this, that
00:00:11one family's library, from which you can take and to which it is then
00:00:14returned and sometimes not returned and well, it's not too bad, we were hit by such
00:00:17an avalanche of awards that I remember when I
00:00:21left the airport, then the best
00:00:24airport
00:00:26awards or those, well framed exhibits, no longer fit
00:00:30on the wall and it all started with that and it continues to this
00:00:34day, I'm always happy when the airport gets another award, but it all
00:00:37started with that library idea
00:00:39actually.
00:00:45Flight 881 to Frankfurt, please proceed immediately to gate number
00:00:49six.
00:00:54A homely airport has also meant that
00:00:58to take care of passengers, we have even had to break
00:01:01rules.
00:01:05The terminal was actually closed, there were maybe three
00:01:09people in the whole terminal, a chartered flight landed at our backup airfield
00:01:12without prior notice, families, many children were there and it
00:01:16came at an inconvenient time in that none of our
00:01:19facilities were open here, when we finally got them into
00:01:22the terminal, the scene was relatively bleak because they had been sitting
00:01:26on the plane for a very long time, first waiting
00:01:30for the landing opportunity, then they... came here and when they arrived here,
00:01:33they were quite hungry,
00:01:36thirsty, then at one point an idea came to mind, that
00:01:40the only 24-hour establishment nearby is at the Ülemiste
00:01:43intersection, at that time it was Statoil, where we could perhaps get
00:01:47some water and sweets for the children, so that they
00:01:50could spend the night here relatively decently until
00:01:53morning when everyone else came to work and then I drove to Statoil, bought
00:01:57as much water as there was there.
00:02:00uh, some chocolates and things
00:02:03and then we took it through security to the people
00:02:07there, that it was good
00:02:11to see how they looked,
00:02:14usually serves, well, in summer, let's say, we how people felt a little lighter, I was still quite nervous, because I was still on
00:02:18probation at that time and
00:02:20when I arrived at the main building the next day
00:02:24with that wrinkled bag and asked if it
00:02:28was all okay because, well, I actually broke all possible internal
00:02:31rules and all sorts of other things, but just to create that better service or that
00:02:35homelier feeling, well, it was essential, we had no
00:02:39other choice, then, uh, actually
00:02:41the reaction I got was super cool, that
00:02:45the situation couldn't have been resolved better at that
00:02:48moment.
00:02:54An airport is definitely not just runways and buildings and
00:02:57technology, an airport is still shaped by people in the end, and the
00:03:01people who start their journey with us, but also
00:03:05the people who actually run and
00:03:08create this airport, that many of these people actually
00:03:11remain in the background, uh, but without
00:03:14these people, actually no plane takes off and
00:03:18no journey happens, these are the
00:03:21people who should be thanked the most, those
00:03:24who have built the airport so far, those who work
00:03:27for us today and also definitely those who...
00:03:30"in the future will operate the airport, with these people we
00:03:33actually
00:03:34create Tallinn Airport.
00:03:4120 years ago, Tallinn Airport handled about 400,000
00:03:44passengers and today we expect 5 million
00:03:48passengers by 2030, currently it's about 3.8
00:03:52million passengers. A lot of it comes from the fact that Estonian people are becoming
00:03:56wealthier and have more opportunities to travel more, and we
00:03:59see that this will also happen in the coming years and
00:04:02of course also opportunities that airlines
00:04:06offer, that there are always more travel options coming
00:04:10and it's good to know that Estonians are adopting them more and more,
00:04:25This is a sound that no one at the airport wants
00:04:28to hear, it means that rescuers
00:04:30have to get dressed in a hurry, jump into the car
00:04:34and drive out
00:04:35of the garage.
00:04:39By the way, the airport has its own rescue team,
00:04:43which means that they do not go to extinguish fires
00:04:46outside the airfield area.
00:04:48I've seen something like this in a regular
00:04:52fire station. How fast do you have to get dressed and into
00:04:56the car when the alarm rings? Well, it's about 30-40 seconds.
00:05:00That's because our duty to respond
00:05:03to any point on the runway is actually three minutes, within three minutes
00:05:06we have to be on site and we have to be ready for
00:05:10firefighting operations. Is this car... is it the same kind of car as, for example,
00:05:14I don't know, my home Nõmme Station? No, these cars are
00:05:17bigger, their water capacity is greater, their foam capacity is greater
00:05:21and there are also special monitors on the cars, there are
00:05:24roof monitors, front monitors, whose water and
00:05:27extinguishing agent discharge capacity is very high, so
00:05:30they are much larger and
00:05:33more powerful. The door still opens like a door opens, oh
00:05:37my God and this is then the team's
00:05:40car, it's longer but... with a line and here in the back
00:05:44sit four rescuers, they have visible breathing apparatus, so even
00:05:48during the departure, they put on breathing apparatus, so that
00:05:51when they arrive at the scene, they are then ready to work. There is also
00:05:54additional equipment, various dry suits, if we have to respond
00:05:57to an air accident on a body of water, thermal cameras and other
00:06:01equipment, for first aid and everything else, well on these cars here, perhaps in addition, you can also see
00:06:05below there's that pipe, which is then self-defense, that if you have to drive
00:06:08through fire, then you can turn it on, so that the tires don't catch fire, yes.
00:06:12So it's like in the movies, like in the movies
00:06:15yes, that a rescue vehicle can drive through flames, yes,
00:06:19if there is a fuel fire, for example, on the runway, then you can drive through it, so that the car
00:06:23itself doesn't catch fire.
00:06:25So why do you need this, why do you need a boat, an air, you don't
00:06:29deal with rescuing seaplanes here, that, uh, our
00:06:33duty is to respond to an air accident
00:06:36uh, within five nautical miles, which is 9.3 km, so
00:06:40if something happens in Naissaar...
00:06:43the front island is a bit out, but Tallinn Bay is definitely
00:06:45in, so we have to react there,
00:06:49our first major body of water of course is Lake Ülemiste, which is
00:06:52actually a large body of water, over Lake Ülemiste goes our
00:06:56ascent and descent sector, so actually we are also ready
00:06:59to rescue people there, to bring them
00:07:01out of the water.
00:07:06Flying has become very, very safe, incidents
00:07:10are rare, uh, what... does this mean that you then
00:07:13mostly sit with your hands folded, no work,
00:07:16no calls, no need to react quickly? No, we don't
00:07:19sit idle, we still have
00:07:23other calls and also daily
00:07:26trainings, exercises, there's a lot
00:07:30of equipment, the equipment is complex, there are many different tools and
00:07:33to know how to work with them, then that means constant
00:07:36practice.
00:07:41Smaller... incidents still happen, luckily none
00:07:44of them have ended in an accident, there have been
00:07:47so-called engine failures,
00:07:51pilot errors, technical turnbacks still happen
00:07:55quite a bit, so yes, they still happen
00:07:58sometimes. How to assess an airport rescuer's
00:08:01career, when has it been successful or
00:08:04fortunate or gone well? Well,
00:08:08an airport rescuer's career can definitely be assessed as going very
00:08:11well if during the entire career one does not have to participate in resolving any air accident.
00:08:15That career
00:08:16has gone very well.
00:08:21The most tragic accident in recent history happened in
00:08:252003, when a cargo plane crashed
00:08:28due to engine failure immediately after takeoff
00:08:31into the forest next to the airfield, and the
00:08:34captain and second pilot died. One pilot was seriously
00:08:37injured.
00:08:40An accident with a happy ending happened on March 18,
00:08:442010, when a Polish cargo plane with six
00:08:48people on board made an emergency landing on the ice
00:08:51of Lake Ülemiste. I was at that time
00:08:55at the security restricted area
00:08:58at the water pre-treatment plant on that hill. And at some point
00:09:02I heard that the sound of one plane's engine was not what it
00:09:06usually should be. And then I turned around and at that moment
00:09:09the plane was Ann 28. and it was
00:09:13like one, well, in the middle of the runway or about 10 meters
00:09:17high from the runway and didn't climb any higher and then it slowly started to tilt
00:09:20towards the left side of the runway and then
00:09:24further it was so low that it went behind that patch of
00:09:27forest, that behind that patch of forest I actually no longer
00:09:30saw it and well, I don't exactly remember what I did, I did two things, that I
00:09:34waited for smoke to come from there uh and
00:09:37secondly I started well I tried to call
00:09:40someone and
00:09:42and during that activity I suddenly saw that the plane had come out from behind
00:09:46that patch of forest and well, almost landed on that
00:09:49lake, so well, it was actually quite a
00:09:53shock and then after a short moment
00:09:57I saw that a man was walking around that
00:10:00plane with a briefcase in his hand, so it seemed so surreal, that
00:10:04and well, then more and more people came out of the plane and
00:10:07and well, then, well, in that sense it was like a
00:10:11good feeling, right, that
00:10:13well, the accident was
00:10:16avoided. However, in Tallinn, they also had to deal with hijacked
00:10:19planes. It's Saturday morning,
00:10:22February 20th, it's 12 o'clock. You, dear viewers, have
00:10:25a day off, but here at Tallinn Airport it's absolute
00:10:29hell. The first such incident in newly independent
00:10:32Estonia was on February 20,
00:10:351993, when a 27-year-old man
00:10:39on a plane en route from Tyumen
00:10:41to St. Petersburg took 76 passengers
00:10:45and six crew members hostage and wanted to fly
00:10:49to New York via Sweden. The hijacker,
00:10:51who was on the plane with his wife and infant daughter,
00:10:55threatened to blow everything up if his demands were not
00:10:57met. The plane landed in Tallinn
00:11:00for refueling and the airport's
00:11:03aviation security director Illar Vaks
00:11:07began negotiating with the hijacker. I saw that he had
00:11:10real
00:11:12grenades in his hands.
00:11:16Uh, hand grenades, uh, Russian military
00:11:20grenades. And both had
00:11:23their safety pins removed. "Now it continued like this, 'release the knots and
00:11:27there will be bangs,' by that time we already
00:11:31knew that he wasn't alone and he had
00:11:34his wife with a six-month-old child,
00:11:38so I said, 'you're not really such a murderer, are you, you want to kill
00:11:41your wife and child, you want to leave the Union,
00:11:44but not kill your wife and child,' and he
00:11:48disagreed with that, 'yes, I don't want to, but then it's like this, it's not, it doesn't happen
00:11:52so easily, you have to talk to Sweden and Eurocontrol
00:11:56has to give consent, so that such a situation doesn't
00:11:59arise where you take off and now fighters come,
00:12:02fighters come to you in the air and
00:12:06then he listened to that and yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
00:12:09and I thought, but what you
00:12:13have right now, you have them in your hands without safety pins, I can't say
00:12:16how many hours it will take to negotiate with Sweden, your fingers
00:12:20won't hold out that long and there will be
00:12:24a bang and you'll be without your wife and children, I'm not talking
00:12:27about the other people, the passengers, so
00:12:30I said, 'put them back,' that 'I can't, both my
00:12:33hands are full, give one to me,' and then
00:12:36like that, well then I went behind him and
00:12:40he gave me it, he gave you the grenade, what did you
00:12:43do then? I held it tight, while he
00:12:47secured the other one. Then I took the other one into
00:12:50my hand and gave it to him, he also secured that one. What
00:12:54does it feel like to be with two grenades, standing there
00:12:57on the plane?
00:13:00I thought a bit more broadly, I wasn't thinking about my
00:13:03life at that
00:13:04moment.
00:13:08Thanks to negotiations, 35 passengers were released
00:13:12in Tallinn. The plane flew to Sweden, where
00:13:15the hostage-taker surrendered
00:13:17to the authorities.
00:13:32Earthworm, it's hard to imagine that this tiny
00:13:36creature could somehow
00:13:39affect airfield operations, but oh, how
00:13:42it can.
00:13:48When there are heavy rains, earthworms also migrate and
00:13:52specifically on the runway, where they cross. the
00:13:55so-called path, but there are so many of them and if
00:13:59such a nice, nice lunch, dinner is
00:14:03served on the table, that is on the runway, then unfortunately
00:14:07birds notice it and they gather here
00:14:10and well, that can have very tragic
00:14:13consequences, primarily because
00:14:16if there are larger birds involved,
00:14:19black-headed gull, herring gull, well naturally we also apply our
00:14:23measures and for that we have various various means.
00:14:27To an uninformed person, this now resembles
00:14:30a UFO, slash, a Mars rover, but
00:14:34what is it actually? We call it a gas cannon
00:14:37system, that, uh, it can
00:14:40then be controlled remotely from a distance,
00:14:43that it consists of, you see here three pipes,
00:14:47which then each pipe then makes
00:14:50a bang,
00:14:53it scares away birds... very effectively and we have
00:14:57nine of them, there are also wheels underneath, so
00:15:00if necessary, we move them operationally to where the birds are currently
00:15:04gathering, but I have bad news, the bang was
00:15:07a minute ago, but the birds are back, swallows are flying around
00:15:11here, that's unfortunately how it is, yes, that we still live
00:15:14in nature and swallows are currently
00:15:17active, flying low, catching
00:15:20insects and well, swallows,
00:15:23due to their body mass, are then very
00:15:27light, small, so they are a lower risk for us, but the problem with them
00:15:30is that they don't respond to any deterrents at all, that they
00:15:34still do their activities and but...
00:15:37primarily by making their habitat unpleasant,
00:15:40we try to keep them away and with various
00:15:43methods, birds get used to them very easily,
00:15:47therefore we use many different, well, for example,
00:15:50pyrotechnics, gas cannon
00:15:52systems and plus then preventive measures,
00:15:56runway master 04, would like
00:15:58to perform.
00:16:20Which birds and how many of them fly, sit and
00:16:24nest near the airfield is precisely known by the
00:16:27airport ornithologist, and he must have an
00:16:30overview of the airfield within a 13-kilometer radius
00:16:34of winged creatures.
00:16:38"Within this 13 km radius
00:16:41area, there must be an overview of where the
00:16:45most important hotspots are, they don't always have to be nesting sites, they can be
00:16:48gathering places and today it can be
00:16:52said that there are no such hotspots in the immediate vicinity
00:16:55of Tallinn Airport that would be concerning, there have
00:16:59been gull colonies, there have been some of Estonia's largest
00:17:02black-headed gull colonies here
00:17:05a couple of hundred meters away, at one time there was an industrial building's
00:17:09roof, the roof had been unmaintained for decades, a nice
00:17:12grassy area had formed there, 5-6
00:17:15meter birches were already growing, meaning it was a perfect little
00:17:19island in the urban landscape, viewed from above,
00:17:22the closest safe nesting place to the lake, so a
00:17:25great choice by the black-headed gulls, very correct, if I were a
00:17:28black-headed gull, I would have nested
00:17:30there too.
00:17:41"This situation was concerning at the time, if there are still 1000
00:17:45pairs, 2000 adult birds, with 400 chicks,
00:17:48whose home turf is Tallinn
00:17:51Airport, where they teach their chicks to fly and to catch
00:17:55food, and the problem was solved by the fact that the building
00:17:59had to make way for new
00:18:00buildings.
00:18:04At the airfield, systematic work has been done for decades
00:18:07to reduce the number of birds and also animals, meaning that
00:18:10the fences extend underground, the abundance of
00:18:13foxes, raccoons and other ground predators
00:18:17is consciously kept lower here
00:18:20and this creates in some ways an interesting situation where
00:18:24birds find it more favorable and safer to operate here than outside
00:18:28the fence.
00:18:32Call to the coordination center:
00:18:35Hello, I am informing you of a security incident, a fox and an
00:18:39American mink entered the
00:18:42airport's restricted area through a hole
00:18:45in the fence, and most interestingly, they
00:18:48entered together, very
00:18:50suspicious.
00:18:54The food chain in nature is what makes
00:18:57animals and birds move, well, let's take first of all mice,
00:19:01small rodents, then smaller
00:19:05uh, birds,
00:19:08long-eared owls, various owls who then
00:19:11hunt them, in addition to mice, foxes
00:19:15also come, young lynxes also visit
00:19:18here, who happen to come to us, what do you
00:19:22do then, when animals are on the premises?
00:19:25With animals, we still try to
00:19:28well, get them
00:19:32out of here, direct them out,
00:19:35so then if a specific flock of birds is chased
00:19:39away, then the ground vehicle crews still wait until
00:19:43a safe passage is ensured for them, or if we are directing an animal
00:19:46off the airfield, then in the same way we momentarily stop
00:19:50air traffic.
00:19:55An official whose job duties also include leading
00:19:58animals off the airfield
00:20:00is the runway master. Runway master 04 Mike
00:20:04Beroon. Please, right of way
00:20:07to the runway.
00:20:1104 proceed to bravo runway.
00:20:14Proceeding to bravo runway and runway master
00:20:1604.
00:20:25Unauthorized entry into the maneuvering area is
00:20:29prohibited and we just asked for that permit and we
00:20:32got it.
00:20:35Does this mean that we are visible to flights, that
00:20:38our, I don't know, machine has a transponder or
00:20:42whatever, yes, all machines moving in the maneuvering
00:20:45area are required to have
00:20:47a transponder and air traffic control must, uh, see
00:20:51us regardless of the weather, even if
00:20:55there's very thick fog, if he doesn't have visual contact, then
00:20:58he still needs to know where vehicles are moving. Uh,
00:21:02Estonian traffic regulations apply to Estonian roads, what rules
00:21:05apply here? Well, uh, here we
00:21:09are allowed to uh drive on the runway up to
00:21:1270 km/h, so sometimes perhaps there's a mistaken
00:21:16impression that it's a good open space here, where you can push the pedal as much as you want, but actually it's
00:21:20not. What does this runway master do and I understand
00:21:23that you actually have a very, very big responsibility.
00:21:27Uh, we are, well, so to speak, the eyes and ears
00:21:30of the airfield, that uh, we monitor
00:21:34that everything that is done here is
00:21:38according to the rules. What does it mean if, for example, someone
00:21:41spots a fox? What do you do then? Our job
00:21:45is to go to that place and
00:21:49and observe where it is moving or
00:21:53where it is located, whether it is a danger to aircraft, there was indeed
00:21:56a fox there once, yes, so then we, then we have no other choice
00:22:00but to go there. You are the man who can say that it is currently
00:22:03unsafe to land, uh, we have to organize,
00:22:07resolve, explain, planes don't
00:22:09land, uh, yes, uh, if it's
00:22:13not safe, then we do have the right to
00:22:16put planes on hold.
00:22:20And that is in our best interest, that we cannot allow
00:22:23any activities until it is completely
00:22:27safe. The runway master 04 cleared
00:22:30the runway from Golf
00:22:31to Alpha.
00:22:41Tallinn Airport's land area is enormous, about
00:22:44380 hectares.
00:22:47Asphalt and concrete cover almost a million
00:22:51square meters, or about 100 hectares, and buildings
00:22:53account for approximately 100,000 square meters. When
00:22:56the terminal building, completed in 1980,
00:23:00became too small, a major renovation was undertaken, which
00:23:04ended in 1998,
00:23:06and immediately plans for its
00:23:10expansion began.
00:23:13Why this bold idea came about was that the Estonian economy was actually
00:23:16doing very well and people really wanted to start traveling.
00:23:20The number of passengers at that time was about 550,000 and
00:23:23the terminal had a capacity of 1.3 million, so it could
00:23:26accommodate three times more people, and since the process of
00:23:29expanding the airport terminal is very time-consuming, it
00:23:33definitely takes five years, so it was clear that it was high time to start thinking
00:23:37about expanding it, so I remember when I first mentioned it,
00:23:41it was very hard for the council to believe
00:23:44that it could be a real idea, actually
00:23:48we reached one million passengers in 2005,
00:23:51that's seven years after
00:23:551998, so it was absolutely the last moment to start thinking about
00:23:58the expansion, and two million passengers came about seven
00:24:01years later, so the process has
00:24:05been fast. 20 years ago, yes, indeed, what
00:24:09we see here right now, this terminal with its bridges,
00:24:13we called it a finger at that time,
00:24:16it didn't exist, we designed it. that was the
00:24:20main building, which you can perhaps see a little bit from there, so that's
00:24:23how it
00:24:25was.
00:24:28The passenger terminal, as we know it today, was completed
00:24:31in 2008 and was designed
00:24:34to serve approximately 2.6 million passengers, although
00:24:36it already handles three and a half
00:24:39million people annually.
00:24:43It is time for expansion again. If today the
00:24:46passenger terminal is 35,000 square meters, then we are expanding
00:24:50it by 18,000 square meters, which is half,
00:24:54and then half of that 35,000 square meters
00:24:57will be reconstructed. This area
00:25:00between the current terminal and the tram terminal, that
00:25:03parking lot, we will completely fill it and
00:25:07a new arrivals baggage claim area
00:25:10will be built there, then we are expanding
00:25:14the border control area, as it has become too small for us today, we will
00:25:18also double its size and add two aircraft
00:25:22stands. Everyone predicts that the number of passengers
00:25:25will double in the next 20 years and we can
00:25:29expect this in Estonia too, that if we now expect five
00:25:31million passengers by 2030 or move towards five
00:25:35million passengers, then growth will continue
00:25:39from there and for that, passenger terminals will need to be expanded again, we are actually today, where we
00:25:42start the passenger terminal expansion here, we are actually
00:25:45already planning the next
00:25:48passenger terminal expansion, which will
00:25:52start around 2033-34, the
00:25:55expansion and improvement of airports, that is, uh,
00:25:59it's a continuous process, it will never end, because
00:26:03we have so much infrastructure that when we finish something in one place, then in another
00:26:07the thing starts to fall apart already and it needs to be fixed again
00:26:10back. Tallinn Airport, like the city of Tallinn, yes, is never
00:26:13finished.
00:26:16And then, in my opinion, the main limitation that exists is perhaps such an
00:26:20international situation, that, uh, that today it is relatively
00:26:23sharp, let's say the big business advantages that our airport had,
00:26:26let's say East flights, which notoriously go over Russian
00:26:30territory, they absolutely do not exist. "At that time we thought
00:26:33that this was a business model success that could actually materialize, someday
00:26:37it will come, when, it is hard for me to say, because the earth is still round and flying over the North
00:26:41Pole is the most direct route from west to east, isn't it, so in that
00:26:45sense it is a great advantage that could be, but I still believe that at
00:26:48some point we will also have long-haul flights, which in my opinion it is a pity that they are not in Tallinn
00:26:51until now. Considering the population of Estonia, considering Estonia's
00:26:55geopolitical location,
00:26:58the demand for air travel that we are ready for could be somewhere around
00:27:0180..." 10 million
00:27:03but
00:27:07in the same way as for the growth of passenger numbers, the
00:27:11airport must also be ready for the possibility that none of them
00:27:14are there, just as happened in
00:27:172020, although such dead silence
00:27:21as there was then, no one could have
00:27:24imagined.
00:27:37"It was April 2020, I
00:27:39think, we had some flights available, but they weren't on all
00:27:43days, every other day and I came
00:27:46to the terminal and since there were no passengers, all the shops were closed,
00:27:49the cafes were closed, there was no one
00:27:52in the terminal, but such background music plays and then
00:27:55suddenly the loudspeakers announce, esteemed
00:27:58passengers, do not leave your baggage unattended, unattended baggage."
00:28:02will be removed by airport staff and it was like something you
00:28:06have seen in apocalyptic movies, that such a thing exists, but
00:28:09well, you didn't think you would ever end up in such a place. And when
00:28:13Tallinn Airport
00:28:16serve over 3000 passengers a month,
00:28:20then in April 2020, I remember, we
00:28:23served 300 passengers in one month, today we serve
00:28:27the same number of passengers in four hours and nothing happened here in the terminal for more than half of the days,
00:28:30and and. in March we weren't even allowed to come here, then
00:28:34there was a complete so-called lockdown, and no one, not even
00:28:37government structures, knew what was allowed and what wasn't, there was no
00:28:41manual, no regulation, nothing, everyone figured it out on the fly
00:28:44how to proceed in this situation, and well, from the company's
00:28:48perspective, that meant that most employees had to be sent home,
00:28:51some operations had to be stopped, but you didn't know when it would
00:28:55start again, so, well, how many employees should be laid off, and maybe it
00:28:58will open again, this is, this is training that money can't buy.
00:29:02so how to quickly cut all your costs and how to optimize
00:29:06your operations so that you don't go bankrupt, because basically the cash flow collapsed.
00:29:10In that sense, Tallinn was in a very good, and I would even say lucky
00:29:14position, that we have such a partner on our territory as Magnetic
00:29:17MRO, who is able
00:29:20to maintain these parked planes that were all parked here,
00:29:24well, our entire terminal side was full of parked planes, all our parking spaces were full
00:29:27of parked planes, then we started parking them on the taxiway, because
00:29:31there were no more parking spaces, we at least got parking fees, work was done
00:29:35in Magnetic, they paid us for the hangars and actually, on the financial
00:29:38side, it still helped to maintain a so-called minimum
00:29:42income for the airport, so those parked planes
00:29:45were worth their weight in gold for us during covid. One can only imagine how little
00:29:58work there was for baggage handlers then.
00:30:02when suitcases could be counted on the fingers of one or two
00:30:06hands.
00:30:10Hello. So. Hold him gently.
00:30:14We hold him gently.
00:30:27Legends say that during COVID, the wind howled
00:30:30here, there was little baggage.
00:30:32and every suitcase was handled personally, how was it really,
00:30:36you were working, actually it was like this, that here
00:30:40the employees were howling, those who were still working, let's say,
00:30:44for one suitcase there were four employees here, is it true
00:30:47that in your work there are many steps and a lot of
00:30:50physical work, steps generally come to about
00:30:5425,000 in summer, less in winter, obviously, because there are fewer flights,
00:30:57in terms of tonnage, if...
