Airport History

Frankfurt Airport developed in the early 20th century and gradually replaced earlier aviation facilities in the Frankfurt area as air transport demand increased. Its growth was closely tied to the city’s commercial importance and to the expansion of German and European civil aviation.

After the Second World War, the airport was rebuilt and expanded into a major international hub. The postwar period brought substantial terminal growth, runway development, and the introduction of more advanced passenger and aircraft handling systems as traffic volumes increased.

In later decades, the airport underwent repeated modernization to support growing intercontinental traffic and transfer operations. New terminal facilities, airside infrastructure, and rail connections were added over time, reinforcing its position as Germany’s busiest international airport by network scale.

Its current role reflects long-term expansion into a large global hub with extensive European feeder traffic and major long-haul services. The airport continues to function as a central connection point for Lufthansa and its partners, while also serving significant point-to-point demand from the surrounding region.
