World's shortest international flight to be grounded for good
A plane landing in Friedrichshafen airport. Almost as quickly as it carried passengers between Germany and Switzerland in a record eight minutes, the world's shortest cross-country flight is already set to see its final voyage. “The withdrawal of the flight is very regrettable to the region and the Bodensee [Friedrichshafen] Airport,” said airport boss Claus-Dieter Wehr. The airline explained that use of the flight route had “only haltingly increased” since it was launched. In March, 2,300 used the stop in Friedrichshafen as a connecting stop between Cologne-Bonn and the Swiss airport.
