Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS) Information

(Dusseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany)



Dusseldorf International Airport is the largest and busiest gateway to Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia region. Accessible via underground transportation from central Dusseldorf, it handles a whopping 20 million+ passengers each year and is continually growing. This makes it the third-busiest air hub in Germany, behind the main airports at Frankfurt and Munich.

Despite there being three terminals here, passengers will notice that the design is more like three concourses linked by a central hall. Of note, the facility is capable of handling the world's largest aircraft.

Terminal A serves flights from Lufthansa and its partner airlines. Sky Team and One World airlines fly out of Terminal B, while Terminal C operates long-haul, non-Schengen flights.


Eurowings, Lufthansa, Air Berlin and Germania are the major air carriers using this facility as a hub, along with German Sky Airlines. By far the busiest operators are Eurowings, Lufthansa and Air Berlin, although plenty of low-cost airlines are beginning to increase their services here, such as TUIfly. Flights to Asia, the Americas, Africa and other European destinations are available from the airport.

Drivers will do a 'half-loop' on the A44 when they travel along this route.
