Besides all these leisure activities, the airfield in Speyer has also a business aspect, as business jets from companies of the Rhine-Neckar area take off and land there. This is the jet of a big chemical company with four letters, the registration number fits the companies self-confidence perfectly.
Unfortunately, these jets have the annoying habit of taking off early in the morning, And when a jet is starting at Speyer airfield, you stand upright in bed if you live in the south of Speyer. The worst one was happening end of March, just after the time shift, when a jet started at 5:30 h, which felt like 4:30 h. Of course this does not endear the neigbourhood, and there are still initiatives to close the airport down.
