This has turned out to be a brilliant solution because Germany right now is enjoying a period of Indian Summer with clear skies, bright sun and balmy temperatures, so that one presumes that the runway will be resurfaced under optimal conditions. News reports indicate the new runway should be good then for the next 15 years.<br /> <br /> The <a href="http://www.hahn-airport.de/default.aspx?menu=passengers_visitors&amp;cc=en">Official website of the airport Frankfurt-Hahn</a> reports as follows:<br /> <blockquote style="color: #996633;">"Closure of the runway<br /> <br /> There´s no air traffic due to building measures between 20.09.10, 5 p.m. and 23.09.10, 12:30 p.m.<br /> Affected passengers are already informed from their airlines.<br /> <br /> The passenger terminal is closed from 20.09.10, 6 p.m. till 23.09.10, 09:30 a.m.<br /> <br /> We want to ask for you understanding.
