About Frankfurt
Frankfurt Airport is a major international airport located in Frankfurt, the fifth-largest city of Germany and one of the world's leading financial centers. It is the main hub for Lufthansa and serves as a key transfer point for air travel within Europe and globally. It is the busiest airport by cargo traffic in Europe.
The airport features two large terminals connected by the "SkyLine" people mover. A unique feature is the "Squaire," a massive office and hotel building built directly above the airport's long-distance train station. This integration of air and high-speed rail (ICE) makes it a central node in Germany's transport infrastructure.
Frankfurt has four runways. Runway 18 (West) is used exclusively for takeoffs to the south. The airport is known for its efficiency but also its sheer size, which can result in long walking distances. It handles a diverse mix of intercontinental wide-body traffic and frequent European narrow-body flights.
