Düsseldorf Airport Projects 21 Million Passengers in 2025 Amid Push for Growth

The airport is expanding destinations and improving efficiency while addressing high operational costs and awaiting SkyTraxx Award results.

Düsseldorf Airport aims to handle 21 million passengers in 2025, up from over 20 million in 2024, with 165 destinations served by 60 airlines.
Operational improvements have led to a 7% reduction in delayed landings and faster check-in and baggage claim processes for passengers.
The airport is investing heavily in modernization, including CT scanners for security checks, with plans to allocate 1 billion euros by 2045.
High taxes and fees remain a significant challenge, with the airport advocating for regulatory reforms to enhance competitiveness and flexibility.
Results of the SkyTraxx Awards, determining if Düsseldorf retains its title as Europe's best regional airport, are expected later this month.
