Düsseldorf Airport, International airport in Lohausen, Germany
Düsseldorf Airport is an aviation hub in Lohausen with three passenger terminals that link the Rhine-Ruhr region to destinations across Europe and other continents. The facilities include check-in halls, baggage zones, and several jet bridges spread across an expansive site near the city boundary.
Operations began in 1927 on a former military drill ground, and after World War II civilian aviation resumed here in 1948. A major terminal fire in 1996 led to the reconstruction of several building sections and the modernization of security systems.
The passenger halls combine function with bright, open waiting areas that reflect the regional emphasis on clarity and order. Travelers also use the terminals as a meeting point before longer business trips into the Rhineland.
The S-Bahn station sits directly beneath the terminals and offers quick connections to the city center and other destinations on the regional rail network. Travelers will find information desks and digital boards in all arrival and departure zones to help with orientation.
In Terminal B, passengers can book a time slot for security screening in advance through the DUSgateway system. This feature reduces waiting times and makes planning easier, especially during morning rush hours.
