A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-DAN performing flight FR-8926 from London Stansted,EN (UK) to Leipzig/Altenburg (Germany) with 150 passengers, was on approach to Altenburg, however could not establish radio contact with the tower. The crew therefore had to divert to Berlin Schoenefeld (Germany), where the airplane landed safely about 30 minutes later.
The passengers waiting for departure in Altenburg were bussed to Berlin, the arriving passengers were taken to Altenburg by the returning busses.
The aircraft reached London Stansted on its return flight with a delay of 6 hours.
The "Tower Company" responsible for providing air traffic control services at Altenburg Airport said, that there had been a misunderstanding with an unclear duty roster, so that the tower controller scheduled to be on duty did not turn up for work. Another controller became available only 2.5 hours later. An internal inquiry has been launched.

da non stare in piedi chi è che lo sostituisce? Hanno provato anche in italia a mettere un solo controllore in turno in torri di a/d piccoli ma fortunatamente i sindacati si sono opposti.
