    Guten Tag,

    Am 24.02.24 bin ich von Istanbul nach Hamburg geflogen.

    Und bei der Gepäckausgaube als ich mein Koffer nehmen wollte, ist mir aufgefallen das mein Koffer beschädigt wurde. Beim Koffer ist die mitte gebrochen und somit nicht mehr nutzbar.

    Als ich mich beim Personal im Flughafen gemeldet habe, wurde mir gesagt das ich mich per Mail bei Ihnen melden soll, daher bitte ich um eine Entschädigung des Koffers.

    Der Preis des Koffers beträgt 600€ und daher bitte um eine Entschädigung dieser Summe, da ich das Koffer nicht mehr nutzen kann
