The fact that the airline is not only opening up a new base here with us, but is also bringing an extensive flight schedule full of attractive sunny destinations shows genuine commitment to our location and, at the same time, is great plus for our passengers," says Johan Vanneste, CEO of Flughafen Köln/Bonn GmbH.
