Regions experiencing air travel at night

The German military has announced that combat helicopter night flights will be taking place in the regions of Alsfeld, Marburg, Korbach, and Bad Hersfeld, until Thursday. These flights are part of ongoing military training exercises.

Residents in these areas who are affected by the increased noise levels caused by these flights can report any disruptions via a dedicated hotline. The toll-free number for this service is 0800 8620730. It is important to note that this hotline is not a 24/7 service and may not be available outside of regular business hours or on weekends.

The hotline is a service provided by the German military to address resident concerns about the noise levels caused by the night flights. However, it is not a means to receive updates on the exact timing and locations of the flights, nor is it related to the changing training area or the military training exercises themselves.

During these flights, the helicopters will sometimes fly at altitudes under 100 feet, equivalent to 30 meters. This could potentially result in increased noise levels. The German military has reported these flights and has stated that the training area will be changed regularly.

It is crucial to remember that the hotline is solely for reporting noise disruptions. It is not a means to report any other issues or concerns not related to noise. The hotline is not affiliated with any specific military branch or organization.

The pilots conducting the upcoming night flights with attack helicopters from Fritzlar belong to the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces). They are operating Tiger attack helicopters, and are part of military units based in Fritzlar conducting training exercises in various regions of Hesse until Thursday.

Residents are encouraged to use this hotline to voice their concerns about the noise disruptions caused by these night flights. By doing so, they can help ensure that the German military is aware of the impact of their training exercises on local communities.
