Dusseldorf International Airport

Düsseldorf International Airport (DUS), which opened in 1927, is the main air gateway to the Rhine-Ruhr metro area and one of Germany’s busiest airports, handling millions of passengers each year. The airport operates through a central terminal complex divided into roughly three terminal sections, offering a compact but well-equipped layout. It’s easily accessible—about 7 km from Düsseldorf city center—with direct regional and long‑distance train services, an automated SkyTrain link to the long‑distance station, frequent S‑Bahn and bus connections, and quick access to the A44 motorway. Prices at shops and eateries are generally mid-range to slightly above budget airports. DUS is a key base for Eurowings and hosts significant operations by Lufthansa and several international and low‑cost carriers, making it convenient for both business and leisure travelers searching for cheap flights to the region.
