Overview

  • Return-travel congestion is intensifying on major NRW highways, particularly the A1, A3, and A40, as Easter holidays end on Friday.
  • The Rahmede Bridge closure on the A45 continues to exacerbate bottlenecks, with ADAC advising drivers to avoid the route entirely.
  • Düsseldorf Airport handled 1.1 million passengers during the Easter holidays, a 22% increase from the previous year, while Cologne/Bonn Airport saw over 500,000 passengers, up 20%.
  • Operational efficiencies at Düsseldorf Airport ensured 85% of travelers waited less than 10 minutes for check-in and 97% for security screening.
  • Düsseldorf Airport is bracing for an influx of Dutch travelers for King’s Day and May holidays, following a steady rise in passengers from the Netherlands.
