Barefoot festival visitors at Memmingen Airport in an emergency!

A barefoot runner causes excitement at Memmingen Airport. On June 11, 2025, a 25-year-old man was taken up by the officials of the border police inspection, while he was wireless in the terminal. The young man was looking for his car and the associated keys that he had lost at the Ikarus Festival after an exciting weekend.

The Ikarus Festival, which was a real spectacle with around 120,000 visitors this year, took place almost right next to the airport. Many festival goers used the practical Ikarus Busshuttle, which offered tickets for a fee of 12 euros and a normal service fee to get to the festival site comfortably. The shuttle buses that regularly drove every half hour were a popular opportunity to arrive. But not everyone seemed to feel firmly in the saddle after the last night.
