TÜV Pfalz Doubts Findings of SFK Accident Commission - Fraport AG: TÜV Pfalz' Statement Confirms Our Objective Criticism of the SFK Opinion

Frankfurt am Main (ots)

TÜV Pfalz (the technical inspection
agency of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) criticized the
recent report of the SFK Accident Commission as not being verifiable
in parts. The SFK found that the planned new landing runway at
Frankfurt Airport is allegedly incompatible with the nearby Ticona
chemical plant. "The SFK's opinion on the expansion of Frankfurt
Airport contains statements and assessments which were not 
substantiated by verifiable arguments or alternative calculations,
and not even by any references to such calculations," said TÜV Pfalz
in its report commissioned by the Hesse Ministry of Economics,
Transportation and State Development (HMWVL). For example, TÜV Pfalz
criticizes the SKF's allegation that an airplane crashing on the
Ticona site "would inevitably result in a major hazard."  According
to TÜV Pfalz, "a statement in this general form cannot be
substantiated."  Rather, the technical inspection agency believes
that "removing potential dangers such as hazardous materials from the
Ticona site (ethylene condenser station, methanol storage tanks) will
totally eliminate any potential hazard."
Fraport AG (FRA) considers the TÜV statement to be a confirmation
of the company's objective criticism of the SFK report.  Fraport had
found flagrant shortcomings and discrepancies in the SFK report and
had criticized the SFK for not answering important questions posed by
Fraport.  As in the past, Fraport expects that compatibility of the
new northwest landing runway and Ticona chemical plant can be
achieved if specific measures are adopted. TÜV Pfalz' statement on
the SFK report makes it clear that Fraport's criticism of the SFK
opinion was fully justified and necessary.
