Why are there no planes at Frankfurt airport?
When looking at satellite pictures from Google Earth.
Fraport scared them away 
LOL!!!!
The 3D view does not show 100% flat parking stands. I’d guess someone requested the planes be edited away, and some laser dots were left behind where the real planes used to stand.
They don’t want competition with Heathrow, Schiphol and Charles-de-Gaulle, the roads don’t show cars neither 
Must have been a request under GDPR
But, seriously, what kind of perverted mind would have requested that google removes the aircraft pictures. The coordinates of the stands are public knowledge; they are published openly
But it cannot simply be a German thing because Munich shows them
but Berlin/Tegel has removed them
as has Schönefeld.
Now they will get half of UK plane spotters on the hedge trying to get an anwser that question
This is really bizzare. I wonder what is the motivation, and/or who ordered it?
Usually the retouching is obvious.
Some examples:
Does GDPR prohibit publishing images of jet airliners?
That is weird! And unlike with people, they aren’t just blurred, but effort has been made to replace the image with historic image when there was no aircraft there, so it doesn’t look totally obvious.
It’s only the parked ones they’ve removed, the ones taxiing have been left (and the Berlin one even has one on the runway, taking off or landing).
