Positions

After the parcel bombs intercepted in Dubai and England in 2010, Giemulla pointed out that there is still no globally uniform security system for air freight .

In an expert opinion on the legality of the air traffic tax levied in Germany from 2011 onwards, Giemulla comes to the conclusion that, in the case of flights by foreign airlines and international flights by German lines, it is hardly compatible with the Chicago Agreement on international civil aviation of the member states. Giemulla opposed the Federal Ministry of Finance, which rather expected Giemulla to support his view. As a result, according to the magazine Spiegel in its April 18, 2014 edition, the expert assignment previously given by the Federal Ministry of Finance was terminated prematurely on the grounds of alleged technical weaknesses.

Giemulla is representing the relatives of the German victims of MH17 before the European Court of Human Rights against Ukraine . The right-wing populist magazine Compact quotes him with the suspicion "that the British secret service knew more and warned its own airline."

On January 10, 2020, Giemulla took the view on the radio that an accidental shooting down of flight PS752 was impossible. Iran play with open cards. On January 11, 2020, Iran assumed responsibility for the plane's accidental shooting down.
