Overview
Centre of low-cost airlines \| Site plan \| Transfer to Cologne City Centre

The Cologne Bonn Airport is the largest low-cost hub in Continental Europe. Over 10 million passengers take off from here to about 130 destinations. In terms of total air traffic, i.e. passenger and freight taken together, Cologne Bonn is the fourth largest airport in Germany.

Included in the biggest ever building project in the history of the Cologne/Bonn airport is a new terminal with subterranean intercity (ICE) and suburban (S-Bahn) railway stations, two multi-storey car parks and a re-designed arrival and departure system.
In the summer of 2000 the new terminal 2 was put into operation. With this terminal the airport company was reacting to the enormous increase in passengers in the past few years. Starting from early 2004, the first high speed (ICE’s) and suburban trains pulled into the airport’s own railway station.

Centre of low-cost airlines

While DBA (founded by British Airways, now part of Air Berlin) touched down at Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN) since the nineties on a regular schedule, in late autumn 2002 two new »No-frills carriers« have been established in Cologne - Germanwings (with Deutsche Lufthansa holding a controlling interest) and Hapag-Lloyd Express as a venture of the German tourist group TUI (renamed to TUIfly in March 2007).
Charter airlines have opened their reservation systems for flight-only passengers, too.

So Cologne/Bonn Airport can be considered as the German centre of low-cost airlines increasing considerably its passenger volume within the next years. At the same time, Cologne is going to become a premiere low-cost destination for city tourism in Europe.
