Located just 8 kilometres north of the city centre, the airport is connected to the central station by the S-Bahn rapid rail service (approximately 15 minutes) and to the terminal by a direct monorail called the SkyTrain. The airport handled over 25 million passengers annually before the COVID-19 pandemic and serves over 200 destinations with more than 60 airlines. Düsseldorf is a major hub for Eurowings (Lufthansa's low-cost subsidiary) as well as serving intercontinental routes and significant connections to Middle Eastern, Asian, and American destinations. The airport is known for its proximity to the city, efficient transfers, and a wide range of international connections that reflect Düsseldorf's role as an international business centre.
