"A total of 286 flights (139 departures and 147 arrivals) with around 34,500 passengers were planned for today. As things stand, 61 flights (34 departures and 27 arrivals) have already been cancelled. There will be further cancellations and delays throughout the day," the airport said in a statement on Sunday. Six more departures and four arrivals were canceled on the evening of November 4, the statement read, adding that another 17 planes bound for Hamburg were diverted to other airports. In total, the incident affected the plans of some 3,200 passengers on Saturday, the statement read. Hamburg's international airport was closed to all arriving and departing flights on Saturday night after a gunman rammed a security barrier onto the airport tarmac and parked under a plane. The man is reportedly holding his four-year old daughter hostage. Hamburg police said that officers were conducting an operation on the runway of the airport. A possible reason for taking the child hostage could be a custody dispute, police said, adding that negotiators and psychologists are currently communicating with the armed man.
