Acessibility of a date picker?

Hello,

I'm evaluating a german airport-website. There are problems with the
date picker.

http://www.dortmund-airport.de/flugplan

I think keybord navigation is quite good when not using a screenreader.
When using NVDA/FF or JAWS/IE keybord navigation doesn't work:

- Navigation with up arrow and down arrow doesn't work.
- It isn't possible to activate the buttons for changing the month and
the two buttons "Schließen" and "Löschen".
- I'm not quite sure, but I think it is also not easy to get the month
spoken with the screenreader?
- The date of each cell has an aria-label="27.05.2016" but it is not
spoken by the screenreader. I dont't know why.

Similar problems occur when trying to select the departure time for example.

Does anybody know whether it is a question of incorrect implementation
of ARIA or is it a scripting problem?
Why does keybord navigation work without screenreader and when using
screenreader it is bad?

Thanks a lot
sonja
