10,000 daily passengers at Hamburg Airport

20 July 2020
More and more travellers taking flights

Passenger numbers at Hamburg Airport had risen to over 10,000 daily passengers by mid-July with up to 140 take-offs and landings after a quiet period caused by the corona pandemic. The volume of traffic has almost doubled since summer holidays began. The airport has put all kinds of measures in place including clear regulations on spacing and has stepped up hygiene and cleaning measures to ensure safe travel.

Normal operations not yet restored 

"We are relieved that our hygiene measures have been so well received and that we can again welcome more holidaymakers to our terminals," said Katja Bromm, Head of Press & New Media at Hamburg Airport. "Nevertheless, we are still a long way from normal operations. Passenger numbers are only at 20 per cent of the holiday volume of previous years," she noted. The number of flights to destinations on the Mediterranean has doubled in July over June. Lufthansa has also significantly increased its feeder flights to Munich and Frankfurt giving Hamburg even better connections to the international network.

More baggage machines

Ten more self-bag drop machines have gone into operation in Terminal 2 so that passengers can now check-in their luggage independently and contactlessly at 30 machines. Hamburg Airport is offering six more contactless check-in machines in T2 bringing the total  to 18. 

Hygiene measures

Safety measures at the airport include compulsory masks, cleaning teams, mobile contact persons, Plexiglas panels, hand disinfectant dispensers, information posters, markings and self-service machines for masks, hygienic wipes and gels. A checklist and more information can be found on the airport's website.
