In a dramatic turn of events, a hostage situation at Hamburg Airport in Germany came to a peaceful resolution as authorities successfully apprehended the armed man who had held his four-year-old daughter captive.

The tense situation unfolded when the 35-year-old Turkish citizen forcefully took his daughter, embroiled in an ongoing custody battle, from her mother. After breaching airport security, the man fired two shots into the air, causing panic among airport staff and passengers.

The armed individual then drove his vehicle to a terminal building and parked it under an aircraft, leading to the closure of the airport and the cancellation of several flights that had been scheduled since Saturday night.

A psychologist was summoned to negotiate with the man, and a standoff ensued for several hours. Fortunately, passengers were safely evacuated, and the man was eventually apprehended without any resistance, with the mother of the child arriving at the airport.

Investigations revealed that the man had previously been under scrutiny for kidnapping his daughter in March 2022 when he traveled to Turkey with her without proper authorization. The mother later succeeded in bringing the child back to Germany.

During the standoff, the man demanded that he and his daughter be allowed to leave Germany and travel to Turkey, resulting in over 100 flight cancellations and diversions.

A significant number of state and federal police officers were present at the scene, ensuring the safety of all those involved.

Flight operations at Hamburg Airport resumed Sunday night, nearly 24 hours after the crisis began, bringing relief to authorities, airport staff, and passengers. Hamburg Mayor Peter Tschentscher expressed gratitude that no one was harmed during the incident, marking the successful resolution of a tense and potentially dangerous situation.
