In response to the tweet, Dusseldorf Airport replied: "Next time our #Followme will shift up a gear. Be prepared, friends @emirates. #HappyLandings."
'Follow me' cars are used for various purposes at airports. They may be used to guide aircraft to/from a parking location if the pilot is not familiar with the airport. They may also be used at special request of pilots or airport authorities in case they want to make specific visual checks of the aircraft at the time of take off.
