Flight connection set

The flight connection Innsbruck-Frankfurt is for FPÖ City Councilor Rudi Federspiel economically existential: “A failure of this connection would have massive negative effects on the Tyrolean tourist and business location,” explains Federspiel, who sees all the alternatives as having little prospect: “It is idiocy to believe that tourists would end up in Munich and then come with them take the train to Innsbruck or even to the tourist strongholds in the Tyrolean Oberland ”, describes Federspiel, who, as a former city councilor and tourist expert for decades, knows the needs of the guests. “The connection is of great importance not only for tourism, but also for the large Tyrolean companies, so the flight connection between the Main and the Inn must be secured at all costs.” The FPÖ city council calls for urgent political initiatives: “Both Governor Günther Platter, who is the regional councilor for tourism, and the regional councilor for economic affairs, Anton Mattle, take measures to maintain the flight connection with Tiroler Werbung, the tourism associations as well as with the Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Industrialists, “demands Federspiel, who can also imagine a private injection of funds. so that Innsbruck is approached.
