Overview

  • The Region Hannover confirmed there are no longer any nature-conservation objections to the heavy transport.
  • Serengeti-Park engineers developed a system that lowers the fuselage from 6.80 m to 5.90 m and uses reverse rigging to protect trees.
  • Organizers must secure road and rail permits in Langenhagen before the roughly 50-kilometre transfer can proceed.
  • The planned route from Hannover airport to Hodenhagen includes a 1.8-kilometre stretch through a protected landscape zone.
  • Once installed at Serengeti-Park, the former Bundeswehr A310 ‚Kurt Schumacher‘ will be converted into a restaurant.
