Location
Frankfurt Airport lies 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of central Frankfurt,[3] near the Autobahn intersection
Frankfurter Kreuz, where two of the most heavily used motorways in Europe (A3 and A5) meet. The
airport grounds, which form a city district of Frankfurt named Frankfurt-Flughafen, are surrounded by
the Frankfurt City Forest. The southern portion of the airport grounds extend partially into the cities of
Rüsselsheim am Main and Mörfelden-Walldorf, and a western portion of the grounds lie within the city
of Kelsterbach.

The airport is centrally located in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region, Germany's third-largest metropolitan
region, which itself has a central location in the densely populated region of the west-central European
megalopolis. Thereby, along with a strong rail and motorway connection, the airport serves as a major
transport node for the greater region, less than two hours by ground to Cologne, the Ruhr Area, and
Stuttgart.

History
The base opened as a German commercial airport in 1936, with the northern part of the base used as a
field for fixed-wing aircraft and the extreme southern part near Zeppelinheim serving as a base for rigid
airships. That section of Rhein-Main later became the base for the Graf Zeppelin, its sister ship LZ-130,
and, until 6 May 1937, for the ill-fated Hindenburg.

The airships were dismantled and their huge hangars demolished on 6 May 1940 during conversion of
the base to military use. Luftwaffe engineers subsequently extended the single runway and erected
hangars and other facilities for German military aircraft. During World War II the Luftwaffe used the
field sporadically as a fighter base and as an experimental station for jet aircraft.

First airport
On 16 November 1909, the world's first airline was founded in Frankfurt am Main: The Deutsche
Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft (DELAG). DELAG then built the first airport in Frankfurt, called
Airship Base at Rebstock, which was located in Bockenheim in the western part of the city and was
primarily used for airships in the beginning. It opened in 1912 and was extended after World War I, but in
1924 an expert's report already questioned the possibility of further expansions at this location.

With the foundation of Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1926 a rapid boom of civilian air travel started and soon
the airship base became too small to handle the demand. Plans for a new and larger airport located in the
Frankfurt City Forest south-west of Schwanheim were approved in 1930, but were not realised due to the
Great Depression. After the Machtergreifung in 1933 the government revived the plans and started the
construction of the new airport.

Second airport
On the northern part of the airport originated in 1935 a two-storey
station building with a six-storey tower, and other operating and
outbuildings for maintenance and storage of aircraft. The
approximately 100 hectares runway received a grass cover.

The official opening of the new Flug- und Luftschiffhafen Rhein-

Main took place on 8 July 1936. The first plane that landed was a
Ju 52/3m, Six days later, on 14 July 1936 LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin Frankfurt Airport in 1936, with one Ju
landed at the airport. 1936 800 tons of cargo and 58,000 86, two Ju 52/3ms and one Fw 200
passengers were transported, in 1937 70,000 passengers and 966 of Deutsche Lufthansa
tons of cargo. In the coming years, the new airport was home
base of the two largest German airships LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin
and LZ 129 Hindenburg . In 1938 Frankfurt was a central distribution point for the transport of airmail to
North America.

On 6 May 1937, the Hindenburg, flying from Frankfurt to New York, exploded shortly before it was
scheduled to dock at Lakehurst. 36 people died. The accident marked the end of scheduled airship traffic
and the end of the airship era.

World War II
After the beginning of World War II in 1939 all foreign airlines left the airport and control of air traffic
was transferred to the Luftwaffe. On 9 May 1940, the first bombers took off to attack France. From
August to November 1944 a concentration camp was established in Walldorf, close to the airport site,
where Jewish female prisoners were forced to work for the airport. The Allies of World War II destroyed
the runway system with airstrikes in 1944 and the Wehrmacht blew up buildings and fuel depots in 1945,
shortly before the US Army took control of the airport on 25 March 1945. After the German Instrument
of Surrender the war in Europe ended and the US Army started to build a new temporary runway at
Frankfurt Airport. The southern part of the airport ground was occupied to build the Rhein-Main Air
Base as an Air Force Base for the United States Air Forces in Europe.

Berlin Airlift
In 1948, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' rail and
road access to the sectors of West Berlin under Allied control.
Their aim was to force the western powers to allow the Soviet
zone to start supplying Berlin with food and fuel, thereby giving
the Soviets practical control over the entire city. In response, the
Western Allies organised the Berlin Airlift to carry supplies via
air to the people in West Berlin. The airports in Frankfurt, Rhein-Main Air Base during the
Hamburg and Hannover were the primary bases for Allied Berlin Airlift

aircraft. The heavy use of these so-called "Raisin Bombers"

caused damage to the runway in Frankfurt and forced the US Army to build a second parallel runway.
The airlift ended in September 1949 after the Soviet Union ended their blockade.

Growth of the airport

In 1951, restrictions for German air travellers were lifted and
civil air traffic started to grow again. In 1952, Frankfurt Airport
handled more than 400,000 passengers; a year later it was more
than half a million. About 100 to 120 aeroplanes took off from
and landed in Frankfurt daily. In 1955, Lufthansa resumed flights
to and from Frankfurt and in the same year the Federal Republic
of Germany gained its air sovereignty back from the Allies. In
1957, the northern runway was extended, first to 3,000 m
(9,843 ft) and then to 3,900 m (12,795 ft), to make it compatible
with jet aircraft.

The airport did not emerge as a major international airline hub

until 1958 when a new passenger terminal called
Empfangsanlage Ost (Terminal East, literally "Arrival Facility
East") opened in the north-east corner of the airport site. Only
four years later it was clear that the terminal was already too
small for the demand. In 1961, Frankfurt already had 2.2 million Civil air traffic at Frankfurt Airport in
passengers and 81,000 take-offs and landings, making it the 1951
second busiest airport in Europe behind Heathrow Airport,
London.

In 1962, it was decided to build an even larger terminal with a

capacity of 30 million passengers per year. Work on this terminal
began in 1965. The southern runway was extended to 3,750 m
(12,303 ft) in 1964. In 1970, a new hangar was inaugurated; this
accommodated six jet aircraft and was the world's largest hangar
at the time.

The new main terminal Frankfurt Airport in 1970

The new terminal, called Terminal Mitte (Central Terminal, today

known as Terminal 1) is divided into three concourses (A, B and
C) with 56 gates and an electric baggage handling system.
Everything opened to the public on 14 March 1972. It was
assumed that the terminal capacity would be sufficient for the
next 30 years. Along with the new terminal a railway station
(Frankfurt Airport station) was opened, the first airport railway
station in the Federal Republic of Germany. A few days later the
old Empfangsanlage Ost was closed.

Check-in concourse A in Terminal 1

The third runway
Planning for a third runway (called Startbahn 18 West) began in 1973. This project spawned massive
protests by residents and environmentalists. The main points of conflict were increasing noise and
pollution and the cutting down of protected trees in the Frankfurt City Forest. While the protests and
related lawsuits were unsuccessful in preventing construction, the Startbahn West protests were one of
the major crystallisation points for the German environmental movement of the 1980s. The protests even
continued after the runway had been opened in 1984 and in 1987 two police officers were killed by a
gunman. This incident ended the Startbahn West protests for good. Because of its orientation in the
north–south direction, in contrast to the other east–west runways, the use of the third runway is limited.
The Startbahn West can only be used for takeoffs to the south to avoid interference with air traffic on the
other runways. Owing to this restriction the runway must be partially or fully closed when northward
winds are too strong.

Terminal 2 and the second railway station

In 1990, work on a new terminal (Terminal 2) began because it
was anticipated that Terminal Mitte would reach its capacity limit
sooner than expected. The new terminal, divided into concourses
D and E, was built to the east of the existing terminal where once
the Empfangsanlage Ost had been. With its opening in 1994,
Frankfurt Airport increased its terminal capacity to 54 million
passengers per year. Along with the terminal opening, a people
mover system called Sky Line was established to provide a fast
The apron of Terminal 2
connection between Terminal 2 and Terminal Mitte (now
renamed Terminal 1).

In 1999 a second railway station, primarily for InterCityExpress long-distance trains (called Frankfurt
Airport long-distance station), opened near Terminal 1 as part of the new Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed
rail line. At the same time local and regional rail services were based at the existing underground station,
now renamed Frankfurt Airport regional station.

Closure of the Rhein-Main Air Base

On 30 December 2005, the Rhein-Main Air Base in the southern part of the airport ground was closed
and the US Air Force moved to Ramstein Air Base. The property was handed back to Fraport which
allows the airport to use it to build a new passenger terminal. The property of the housing area for the
soldiers, called Gateway Gardens, which was located north-east of the airport site, was given back to the
city of Frankfurt in the same year and will be developed as a business district in the following years.

The Airbus A380 and The Squaire

From 2005 to 2007, a large Airbus A380 maintenance facility was built at Frankfurt Airport because
Lufthansa wanted to station their future A380 aircraft fleet there. Due to economic constraints only half
of the facility has been built so far. Both terminals also underwent major renovations in order to handle
the A380, including the installation of a third boarding bridge at several gates. Lufthansa's first Airbus
A380 went into operation in June 2010 and was named Frankfurt am Main.

In 2011, a large office building called The Squaire (a portmanteau of square and air) opened at Frankfurt
Airport. It was built on top of the Airport long-distance station and is considered the largest office
building in Germany with 140,000 m2 (1,500,000 sq ft) floor area. Main tenants are KPMG and two
Hilton Hotels.

Since 2012, the people mover "The Squaire Metro" connects the
Squaire with the nine-storey parking structure. On a length of
about 300 metres the so-called MiniMetro system with its two
cabins can carry up to 1,300 passengers per hour.[10] The
constructor of the system was the Italian manufacturer Leitner. Aerial view of the central airport

The fourth runway
Plans to build a fourth runway at Frankfurt Airport were
underway in 1997, but owing to violent conflicts with the concept Fraport let residents' groups and
environmentalists participate in the process to find a mutually acceptable solution. In 2000, a task force
presented their conclusion which generally approved a new runway, but of shorter length (only 2.8
kilometres compared to the other three 4-kilometre-long runways), which would serve as a landing-only
runway for smaller aircraft. Additional requirements included improved noise protection arrangements
and a strict ban on night flights between 11 pm and 5 am across the whole airport. In 2001, Fraport
applied for approval to build the new runway, with three possible options. The conclusion was that a
runway north-west of the airport site would have the least impact on local residents and the surrounding
environment. The plans were approved by the Hessian government in December 2007, but the requested
ban on night flights was lifted because it was argued that an international airport like Frankfurt would
need night flights, especially for worldwide freight transport. Construction of the new 2,800 m (9,186 ft)
long Runway Northwest in the Kelsterbach Forest began in early 2009.

In 2012, the website Airport Watch reports weekly protests have been occurring at the airport since the
opening of a fourth runway a year previously.[11]

Developments since 2011

The new runway officially went into operation on 20 October 2011, with an aircraft carrying Chancellor
Angela Merkel, performing the first landing on 21 October. The centre line separation from the existing
north runway is about 1,400 m (4,593 ft). This allows simultaneous instrument landing system (ILS)
operations on these two runways, which has not been possible on the other parallel runways, which do
not meet the 3,500 feet (1,100 m) minimum separation for ILS operations.[12] This allowed the airport to
increase its capacity from 83 to 126 aircraft movements per hour.[13][14]

On 11 October 2011, the Hessian Administration Court ruled that night flights between 11pm and 5am
(the so-called Mediationsnacht) are no longer allowed at Frankfurt Airport after the inauguration of the
new runway, and therefore overrode the approval from the Hessian government from 2007 which
allowed 17 scheduled flights per night. On 4 April 2012, the German Administrative Court confirmed the
decision of the Hessian Administration Court, banning night flights between 11pm and 5am.[15]

To handle the predicted passenger amount of about 90 million in 2020, a new terminal section adjacent to
Terminal 1 for an additional six million passengers opened on 10 October 2012. It is called Flugsteig A-
Plus and exclusively used by Lufthansa mainly for their long-haul flights. Flugsteig A-Plus features eight
parking positions that are able to handle four Airbus A380s or seven Boeing 747-8/747-400 at once.[16]
In November 2016, Ryanair announced the opening of a new base at Frankfurt Airport with four routes to
Spain and Portugal. This move by Ryanair was heavily blasted, especially by Lufthansa, as Ryanair was
granted high discounts and incentives regarding the airport's fees.[17] On 28 February 2017, Ryanair
announced its winter programme for Frankfurt which will see a further 20 new routes being added.

Facilities

Terminals
Frankfurt Airport has two large main passenger terminals (1 and 2) and a much smaller dedicated First
Class Terminal which is operated and exclusively used by Lufthansa. As is the case at London Heathrow
Airport, Los Angeles International Airport (bar the Tom Bradley International Terminal) and O'Hare
Airport's's future Global Terminal, terminal operations are grouped for airlines and airline alliances rather
than into domestic and international routes.

Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is the older and larger one of the two passenger
terminals. The landside is 420 metres long. It has been enlarged
several times and is divided into concourses A, B, C and Z and
has a capacity of approximately 50 million passengers per year.
Terminal 1 is functionally divided into three levels, the departures
level on the upper floor with check-in counters, the arrivals level
with baggage claim areas on the ground floor and, underneath, a
distribution floor with access to the regional station and
underground and multilevel parking. Departures and arrivals Terminal 1
levels each have separate street approaches. A bus station is
located at arrivals level. Terminal 1 has a total of 103 gates,
which include 54 gates equipped with jetways (25 in Concourse A, 18 in Concourse B, 11 in Concourse
C). Concourse Z sits on top of Concourse A sharing the same jet bridges between both concourses.
Flights to non-Schengen destinations depart from the Z gates and Schengen flights depart from the A
gates.

Pier A was extended by 500 metres in 2000, and a link between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, as well as the
Hall C extension opened in 2008.[18]

On 10 October 2012, an 800-metre-long westward expansion of Terminal 1 called Pier A-Plus went into
operation. It provides more stands for wide-body aircraft like the Airbus A380.[19]

Terminal 1 is primarily used by Lufthansa, its associated companies (Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Swiss
International Air Lines and Austrian Airlines) and its Star Alliance partners (e.g. Aegean Airlines, Air
Canada, Air China, Air India, All Nippon Airways, Asiana Airlines, Croatia Airlines, LOT Polish
Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, TAP Air Portugal, Thai
Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines).

Some airlines that are not part of the Lufthansa Group or Star Alliance also use Terminal 1. They include
Air Malta, Bulgaria Air, Iran Air, Oman Air and Tunisair among others.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2, which has a capacity of 15 million passengers a year,
was opened in 1994 and is divided into concourses D and E. A
continuous concourse between Terminal 1C and 2D provides
direct, but non-public access between the two terminals. It has
eight gates with jetways and 34 apron stands, a total of 42 gates
and is able to handle wide-body aircraft such as the Airbus A380.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2 is primarily used by airlines of the oneworld (e.g.
American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair,
Iberia, Japan Airlines, LATAM Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Royal Jordanian and S7 Airlines) and
SkyTeam alliances (e.g. Aeroflot, Air France, China Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern
Airlines, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, KLM, Korean Air, Saudia, TAROM and Vietnam Airlines;
note that SkyTeam members Alitalia and Middle East Airlines operate out of Terminal 1, in concourses B
and C).

Terminal 2 is also used by airlines that do not belong to any of the three major airline alliances, including
Air Moldova, Air Serbia, Emirates, Kuwait Airways, Royal Air Maroc and Somon Air, among others.

Lufthansa First Class Terminal

Lufthansa operates a small terminal near Terminal 1 for Lufthansa first class passengers and HON Circle
frequent flyer members only. Other first class passengers must use the first class lounges within the main
terminals. The facility has 200 staff and is used by about 300 passengers daily. It provides
"individualised" security screening and customs facilities. Amenities include valet parking, a white-linen
restaurant, lounge and office areas, a cigar room and bubble baths. Passengers are transported directly
from the terminal to the plane by luxury car.

SkyLine
Passengers and visitors can change terminals with the people
mover system SkyLine which has the following stops:

Stop Restrictions
1AZ passengers only
1B
1C non-Schengen passengers only
2DE
Lufthansa First Class Terminal
The travel time between the terminals is 2 minutes with trains
arriving every 2–3 minutes during the day. Additionally there is
regular bus service between the terminals.

Runways
Frankfurt Airport has four runways of which three are arranged parallel in east–west direction and one in
north–south direction. In 2010 three runways (Runways North, South and West) handled 464,432 aircraft
movements, which equated to 83 movements per hour. With the start of operation of the Northwest
Runway in October 2011 the airport was predicted to be able to handle 126 movements per hour. It is
predicted that aircraft movements will increase up to 700,000 in the year 2020. By using the fourth
runway, Frankfurt Airport is able for the first time to handle simultaneous parallel landings, because the
distance between the north and the north-west runways is 1,400 m (4,593 ft). Simultaneous parallel
landings were not possible with the north and south runway pairing, because the separation distance did
not meet the safety standards.

During normal operation the two outer parallel runways (07L/25R and 07R/25L) are used for landings
and the central parallel runway (07C/25C) and the Runway West (18) for take-offs. The three parallel
runways have two markings because they can be operated in two directions while the Runway West can
only be used in one direction.

Future expansions

Terminal 3 (under construction)

In 2009, the German government decided to create third
terminals for both Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport in order
to handle expected passenger flows of 90 million in Frankfurt by
2020 and 50 million in Munich by 2017. The new terminal is
scheduled to be built by Fraport, south of the existing terminals
on the grounds of the former Rhein-Main Air Base. The new
Terminal 3 is to accommodate up to 25 million passengers and
will feature 75 new aircraft positions when completely
constructed. An extension of the SkyLine people mover system is
planned to connect the new terminal to Terminals 1 and 2 and the
Airport map with planned and already
airport train stations. constructed expansions

In August 2014, the city of Frankfurt granted building permission

for the first phase of Terminal 3.[20] The groundbreaking for the new terminal took place on 5 October
2015. Its first phase, consisting of the main building and two of the planned four piers (concourses 3H
and 3J), is planned to open by 2023 and will be able to handle 15 million additional passengers per year.
Total costs are estimated at 3 billion euros.[21]

In 2017, Frankfurt Airport indicated that the second-phase construction of the eastern-most pier
(concourse 3G) could be moved forward so that low-cost carriers can use this pier from 2021.[22] After
approval by municipal authorities in 2018,[23] the piers will be constructed and used according to the
following timetable:[24]

Concourse 3G (eastern-most pier):

Construction of first twelve bus gates, reachable via shuttle buses from terminals 1/2, in use
by 2021
Construction of additional twelve bus gates by 2023/2024
Construction of passenger bridges by 2025/2026
Check-in area, concourses 3H and 3J (central piers): Construction by 2023 including transport systems
for visitors, passengers and luggage to the other terminals

Concourse 3H is planned for Schengen flights

Concourse 3J is planned for non-Schengen flights[25]
Concourse 3K (western-most pier): Possible third-phase expansion depending on development of
passenger numbers

Passenger Transport System

A new passenger transport system is planned for the connection of the new terminal 3 and the existing
terminals 1 and 2. It will use a track which is separate from the existing SkyLine people mover but will
allow for interchanges between them.[26] It is scheduled to have four stops in the final stage:
 Stop Location/remarks
F Long- and short-distance railway station
1C Interchange station to SkyLine (long-term planning)
2DE Interchange station to SkyLine (upon inauguration of PTS)

CargoCity
CargoCity is the name of the two large main areas featuring most of the airport's freight handling
facilities:

The 98 hectare large CargoCity Süd (South) is home to a cargo centre for dispatch service
providers and freight forwarding businesses. Several transport companies like DHL Global
Forwarding, Air China, Emirates, Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and Fraport
Cargo Services are based here.
CargoCity Nord (North) is the headquarters of Lufthansa Cargo. Additional facilities here
are a Perishables Centre for fresh produced goods and the Frankfurt Animal Lounge for the
transport of living animals.

Other facilities

Airport City
The airport ground and the surrounding area of Frankfurt Airport
offer a large variety of on-airport businesses as well as airport-
related businesses, including office space, hotels, shopping areas,
conference rooms and car parks. The development of an airport
city has significantly accelerated in recent years.

Frankfurt Airport Centres

The Frankfurt Airport Centre 1 (FAC 1) near Terminal 1 offers
office and conference facilities, the newer FAC 2 is located
within Terminal 2 and offers office space for airlines.

Airport City Mall

The Airport City Mall is located on the landside of Terminal 1,
departure hall B. It offers national and international retailers and Frankfurt Airport Centre 1
label stores, a supermarket and several restaurants.

The Squaire
The Squaire is an office building with a total floor area of
140,000 m2 (1,506,900 sq ft). It is directly connected to Terminal
1 through a connecting corridor for pedestrians. The accounting
firm KPMG, Lufthansa and two Hilton Hotels (Hilton Garden
Inn Frankfurt Airport with 334 rooms and Hilton Frankfurt
Airport with 249 rooms) occupy space in The Squaire.
The Squaire
Main Airport Centre
The Main Airport Centre, named after the Main river, is an office building with ten floors and about
51,000 m2 (549,000 sq ft) of office space. It is located at the edge of the Frankfurt City Forest near
Terminal 2.

Sheraton Hotel & Conference Centre

Sheraton Hotels and Resorts offers 1,008 guest rooms adjacent to Terminal 1 and a conference centre for
up to 200 delegates.

Gateway Gardens
Gateway Gardens is a former housing area for the US Air Force personnel based at the Rhein-Main Air
Base, close to Terminal 2. Like the air base, the housing area was closed in 2005. Since then the area is
being developed into a business location for airport-related companies. Lufthansa moved its airline
catering subsidiary LSG Sky Chefs to Gateway Gardens, Condor and SunExpress are headquartered here.
DB Schenker, the logistics company of Deutsche Bahn, have built a 66 m (217 ft) high-rise building.

In December 2019, local trains were re-routed to run via Gateway Gardens station. The new stop for S-
Bahn trains is located between Frankfurt Airport Regional Station and Frankfurt-Stadion station. The
journey time will increase by 4 minutes but Deutsche Bahn have stated that they will use new trains
(ET423) which will be faster and have more capacity.[78]

Ground transport
Frankfurt Airport can easily be accessed by car, taxi, train or bus as it features an extensive transport
network. There are two railway stations at the airport: one for suburban/regional trains and one for long-
distance trains.

Rail

Regional station
Frankfurt Airport regional station (Frankfurt Flughafen
Regionalbahnhof) at Terminal 1, concourse B, provides access to
the S-Bahn commuter rail lines S8 and S9. Each of these lines
have trains departing every 15 minutes during daytime to Hanau
Central Station eastwards via Frankfurt Central Station and
Offenbach East Station or Wiesbaden Central Station westwards
via Rüsselsheim or Mainz Central Station (line S8) or Mainz-
Kastel Station (line S9).

The journey time to Frankfurt Central Station is 10–12 S-Bahn at the regional station

minutes.[100]

Regional Express (RE) trains to Saarbrücken, Koblenz or Würzburg call at this station. These trains
provide less frequent but additional connections between Frankfurt Airport and the Central Station.[100]

Long-distance station
Frankfurt Airport long-distance station (Frankfurt Flughafen
Fernbahnhof) was opened in 1999. The station is squeezed in
between the motorway A 3 and the four-lane Bundesstraße B43,
linked to Terminal 1 by a connecting corridor for pedestrians that
bridges the Autobahn. It is the end point of the newly built
Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed rail line, which links southern
Germany to the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, the Netherlands
and Belgium via Cologne at speeds up to 300 km/h (190 mph).
About 10 trains per hour depart in all directions.[100] Platforms at the long-distance station

Deutsche Bahn operates the AIRail Service in conjunction with

Lufthansa, American Airlines and Emirates. The service operates to the central stations of Bonn,
Cologne, Düsseldorf, Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Hamburg, Hannover, Mannheim, Munich,
Nuremberg, Stuttgart and to Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe.[101]

Car
Frankfurt Airport is located in the Frankfurt City Forest and directly connected to an Autobahn
intersection called Frankfurter Kreuz where the A3 and A5 meet. It takes a 10–15 minutes by car or taxi
to get to Frankfurt Central Station or the centre of the city.[102]

Passengers driving their own cars can park in multilevel parking garages (mostly underground) along the
terminals. A long term holiday parking lot is located south of the runways and connected by shuttle bus
to the terminals.

Bus and coaches

Various transport companies provide bus services to the airport from the surrounding areas as well as by
coach to long-distance destinations.[103]
Previously All Nippon Airways operated a bus service to Düsseldorf exclusively for ANA customers;
that way Düsseldorf passengers would be transported to Frankfurt Airport to board their ANA
flights.[104] In 2014 ANA established a separate flight from Tokyo to Düsseldorf,[105] causing the bus
services to end.[106]

Ground transport statistics

In 2006, 29.5% of the 12,299,192 passengers whose air travel originated in Frankfurt came by private
car, 27.9% came by rail, 20.4% by taxi, 11.1% parked their car at the airport for the duration of their trip,
5.3% came by bus, and 4.6% arrived with a rental car.[107]

Incidents and accidents

On 22 May 1983, during an air show at Rhein-Main Air Base, a Canadian RCAF Lockheed
F-104 Starfighter crashed into a nearby road, hitting a car and killing all passengers, a
vicar's family of five. The pilot was able to eject.
On 19 June 1985, a bomb cloaked in a canvas bag was detonated approx at 14:42 in the
afternoon in Hall B of the Rhein Main Frankfurt Airport, decimating that section of the
airport. The blast resulted in 3 deaths and 32 injuries, of which 4 were considered
serious.[108]
In September 2007, German authorities arrested three suspected terrorists for plotting a
"massive" terror attack, which posed "an imminent threat" to Frankfurt Airport and the US
Air Force base in Ramstein.[109]
On 2 March 2011, a gunman opened fire on a bus carrying US Air Force personnel at
Frankfurt Airport, killing two and wounding two others.[110]

In media
Frankfurt Airport is featured in the Discovery Channel series X-Ray Mega Airport (also known as Inside
Frankfurt Airport).[111]

Jinder Mahal Pinned R-Truth at the Frankfurt Airport for the 24/7 Championship. This title change was
shown on WWE.com and WWE's official social media accounts.[112]
