Danes blamed after German airport is jammed with cars

Hamburg - A German airport blamed wave after wave of vacationing Danes on Thursday for jamming its 10,000-space parking buildings, prompting ugly scenes as more travellers arrived.

Hamburg Airport in the north of Germany has suddenly become a magnet for people from southern Denmark, thanks to enticingly cheap airfares to holiday destinations in the summer sun and low-cost parking for cars while vacationers are away.

By Thursday, many cars with Danish registration plates were parked illegally on nearby grass verges.
