About Hamburg Airport Germany

Hamburg Airport is an international airport of the city of Hamburg in Germany. The Airport is located 8.5 kilometers north-west of the centre of the City of Hamburg in the Fuhlsbüttel quarter. The airport is easily accessible and well signposted from central Hamburg. The A7 Autobahn provides a connection to the airport at exit 23, Schnelsen-Nord. Hamburg Airport is the fifth busiest of the 16 German commercial airports. In 2007, it handled nearly 13 million passengers and over 170,000 flight movements and in 2008, Hamburg airport served 12,840,000 passengers and 173,500 aircraft movements. Looking to the future, the airport is set to expand further, and estimates predict a sustained upward trend in passenger numbers. The Airport was opened in January 1911 and it is the oldest Airport in Germany which is still in operation. In the 1970s, there were discussions of moving Hamburg airport northward to a site near Kaltenkirchen. This plan was subsequently abandoned, and the airport is completing a major modernization that includes Airport Plaza, new terminal buildings, new hotel right across from the terminal, a dynamic parking guidance system, new roadside access and a connection to Hamburg’s rapid transit system. Hamburg airport has 17 jet-ways and 54 apron positions. Runways, taxiways and aprons are able to handle the Airbus A380, although there is no scheduled A380-service expected. Hamburg Airport is the diversion airport for Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, the airport of the Airbus plant in Hamburg, where all A380 are being painted and interior fitted. At the airport, you can enjoy a vast variety of restaurants and bars. Car rental at Hamburg airport is located at arrival terminal.
