Bomb defusing plunges Bavaria into flight chaos

Bavaria

Again flight problems at Bayern. The German champions were unable to take off in the direction of Munich on Thursday.

After the 12-0 success in the first round of the DFB Cup against the fifth division club Bremer SV, the German series champions wanted to fly back to Munich on Thursday. However, the two Bayern planes had not been able to take off at 12.30 p.m. on schedule.

The reason for this was a World War II bomb. The US bomb, weighing 500 kilos, was discovered on Wednesday near Bremen airport, and the defusing process has been underway since 11.30 a.m., according to “Bild”.

Therefore, the German record champions are still stuck in the team hotel. When the work will be completed is still open. The return flight to Munich should take place on Thursday in any case.

It is the second Bayern flight chaos this year. In February, the Munich had to spend one night at the airport in Berlin after the plane had not received a take-off permit shortly after midnight. In the German capital, a flight ban applies from midnight to 5 a.m., which has not been lifted for the German record champions either. Bayern could not take off until around 7 a.m., so they traveled late to the Club World Cup in Qatar.
