Rostock Airport, Commercial airport in Laage, Germany
Rostock Airport is a commercial airport in Laage with a modern passenger terminal that handles medium and large aircraft. The facility spans a large complex with separate areas for passenger services and flight operations.
The facility began in 1979 as a military airbase for the National People's Army and shifted to civilian operations after German reunification in the early 1990s. This transition marked the shift from military use to a civilian aviation hub.
The airport functions as a gateway to the Baltic Sea region and connects travelers to the coastal areas of northern Germany. Visitors experience here the beginning of a journey into a less populated and more natural part of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The terminal offers check-in areas, shops, and dining options with direct bus connections to Rostock central station. The distance is approximately 25 kilometers away, and service runs regularly.
The airport maintains a rare cooperation model between military and civilian operations within German aviation. Roughly 60 hectares of the facility are dedicated to civil use, while the remainder serves military functions.
