The investment measures in Düsseldorf include modernising the fire rescue routes and safety lighting systems so that wide-bodied aircraft can be handled safely, plus optimising route planning at Gate B and completely rehabilitating taxiway L7. Furthermore, the entire power supply system on the airfield is to be made more energy-efficient to meet the demands of new aircraft types during standing and handling times on the ground.
