story
prehistory
On July 31, 1907, the commanding general of the X. Army Corps in Hanover approved the aviation pioneer Karl Jatho on the Vahrenwalder Heide to build a "roadway" "so that the aircraft can roll better." A few years later the imperial army built one on the site Air station with air barracks and used the lawn as a landing field for both airplanes and airships . Civil aircraft could also use the airfield.
After the First World War, the airport was classified as a military facility and civil use was initially prohibited. From 1923 it was flown to by civil aircraft again, the first international connection was the daily connection Berlin - Hanover - Rotterdam - London offered by German Aero Lloyd . In 1927 the city of Hanover took over the site from the Reichswehr and expanded Hanover-Vahrenwald Airport into Hanover's official airport. The airport was badly damaged in World War II and was not reopened after World War II. The station building, erected in 1935, is still in today's Vahrenheide district ; it was used by the armed forces for years as a district military replacement office.
In 1915, the Hannoversche Waggonfabrik (Hawa) set up a works airfield at their plant in Linden . Here she could take off and land the aircraft she had manufactured and maintained. When the Vahrenwalder airfield was no longer allowed to be used for civil purposes after the First World War, the Reich Aviation Office approved the Hawa factory airfield as the first civil airport for Hanover in November 1919. The Deutsche Luft-Reederei began with regular flights on the Berlin - Braunschweig - Linden - Gelsenkirchen route. In 1928 Hanover-Vahrenwald Airport replaced Lindener Flugplatz as the official Hanover airport, in 1930 it was completely closed and the area was used as a livestock and breeding yard.
Establishment
The Hanover Fair , which has been taking place in Hanover since 1947 , made an airport desirable for visitors to travel to and from. The Berlin blockade in 1948/49 had also shown that efficient airfields in the Federal Republic were useful in the closest possible distance from Berlin. The old airport in Vahrenwald did not have enough space to expand it. Various options such as expanding the Braunschweig-Waggum airfield or building a new one near Sievershausen near Lehrte were examined. The choice finally fell on Evershorst Air Base, which was used by the Air Force until 1945 and which was used by Canadian troops after the war. The former barracks north of the airport have been preserved.
In 1950, preparatory work began on the general expansion plan for civil use as a replacement for Hanover-Vahrenwald Airport. After the airport construction company was founded in July 1951 and the allied civil aviation authority granted the license to build an airport near Hanover, construction began on November 28, 1951. After five months, the airport was completed with a 1680 m long runway (today's southern runway 09R / 27L). It was officially opened on April 26, 1952 and the airlines British European Airways , SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Pan American World Airways began their flight operations. In the following years KLM (1953), Air France (1954) and Lufthansa (1955) were added. The first landing was a flight from Berlin with the ruling mayor Ernst Reuter on board.
The airport area was in the areas of the city of Langenhagen and the then still independent communities Engelbostel , Schulenburg and Godshorn . Since the municipal reform in 1974 it has belonged entirely to the city of Langenhagen.
expansion
In 1959 the runway was extended to 2,340 meters; a year later, two grass tracks were put into operation in the north, before the middle, 780 m long short track was built in 1963. In 1966 the north runway 09L / 27R, which was laid parallel to the south runway, was put into operation together with the 45 m high second tower. The new northern runway was extended in 1969 to initially 2,700 m.
The new airport complex designed by the architect Heinz Wilke opened in 1973 , consisting of Terminals A and B connected by a shopping street and the P1 multi-storey car park. The development concept of these terminals served as the model for the international terminal Sheremetyevo-2 of the airport Sheremetyevo . In the same year, Hapag-Lloyd Flug set up its operational and technical base at the airport. The old departure building was converted and reopened as an air freight center in 1976. The Airbus A300 , Lufthansa continued to commute between Hanover and Frankfurt.
In 1981 the expansion of the Hapag-Lloyd base was completed (two large aircraft hangars and an administration tower), and MTU Maintenance GmbH began operations.
After the air freight center had been rebuilt and rebuilt, it was reopened in February 1988. The northern runway, which was lengthened to 3800 meters, was released for unrestricted intercontinental traffic on November 16, 1990. In 1991 Langenhagen was the first German airport to be connected to the ISDN of the Deutsche Bundespost . In the meantime, plans to relocate the Hanover Aviation Museum from Laatzen to the airport failed due to different ideas of the airport company and the museum operator about the concept of the exhibition. Terminal A was rebuilt and modernized between October 2013 and July 2014, the departure level was closed during this time. It was possible to adhere to both the schedule and an estimated budget of a little over eight million euros. The reason for the renovation was primarily new security requirements, for example the handling was centralized. The waiting area, which was previously divided into zones, has also been merged.
“After the successful renovation of passenger building A in 2014, the plan for a renovation of passenger building B (built in 1973) and passenger building C (built in 1998) is intended on the basis of an existing feasibility study. The core task of the further renovation plans for Terminals B and C is the centralization of the currently decentralized exit control points on the basis of the relevant EU regulations and taking into account the functional areas required for flight operations. [...]. In addition, airside building connections between the terminals are to be examined to make passenger processes more flexible. In this context, it is intended to operate Terminal B as a Schengen terminal and Terminal C as a non-Schengen terminal in the future . Furthermore, the non-aviation areas have to be planned over and the existing travel market reorganized. The appearance that was already further developed as part of the renovation of Terminal A is to be continued with the renovation of buildings B and C. [...]. Planning is to be continued in mid-2016. In connection with the legal requirements as well as the operational possibilities, the renovation of Terminal C is to be completed in the period 2018/19, and Terminal B in the period 2019/20. In addition, two air-side connecting corridors are expected to be implemented. All measures described should be carried out during operation. "
The airport continues to invest in the future of the location. In spring 2016, construction work began to renew the apron areas and modernize the drainage of these areas. Over the next ten years, an amount in the mid double-digit million range will flow into the maintenance and expansion of the operational infrastructure. The focus is primarily on the renewal of the concrete and asphalt surfaces on the apron, some of which are over 60 years old. Hannover Airport bears the investments exclusively from its own resources.
The first construction phase includes the complete renovation of the apron area between Terminal A and Freight A and consists of the individual measures replacing concrete and asphalt, adapting the drainage including pipeline construction, marking the areas and creating the construction logistics. Construction of this project section will start on February 29, 2016; it includes a concrete pavement area of around 50,000 square meters and 4,500 square meters of asphalt.
For this project, a logistics area of 21,000 square meters is being set up, on which the approximately 47,000 cubic meters of building material are largely recycled and reused. The major construction site is delimited by a total of 1,870 meters of security fence. Departure gates 1 to 3 will be taken out of service during construction.
The end of the first construction phase and the restart of the apron in this area are planned for the end of October this year. The work is unlikely to have any noticeable effects on air traffic and passengers.
A total of around 150,000 square meters will be exchanged at Hannover Airport, which corresponds to the size of around 21 football fields.
Due to the disposal of an aerial bomb from the Second World War, which was discovered during the construction work, the restart was delayed. According to the airport's planning, this was originally expected at the end of October 2016. On December 7, 2016, after the apron renewal of the first section, an aircraft flew from the first half of Terminal A for the first time, so that the construction work on the apron renewal was officially completed on December 6, 2016.
Development of air traffic
.jpg)
Due to the restriction of Berlin traffic between West Germany and West Berlin to the three air corridors of Hamburg, Hanover and Frankfurt am Main ( Air Corridor (Berlin) ), which was determined by the victorious powers between 1945 and 1990, Hannover-Langenhagen Airport played because of the shortest distance West Berlin and the highest subsidization of the airfare play a special role (Hanover hinge). Air traffic to West Berlin could only be carried out by airlines from Great Britain, France and the United States; in Langenhagen the BEA was of the greatest importance.
In 1956 the first tourist flights to Mallorca and the Costa Brava started. On October 7, 1956, Lufthansa introduced the DC-3 on the Hamburg-Hanover-Frankfurt route . 130 charter flights were counted by four tour operators in 1957. In 1965 the airport already had a million passengers.
In 1970, two million passengers used the airport. The first regular jumbo connection came in 1971 in the form of the Condor Boeing 747-100 , which regularly served the Hanover-Palma de Mallorca route. The first long-haul flights were also taken up in the 1970s. The 1974 Hapag-Lloyd Flug flew from Hanover to Mombasa and the Seychelles (both routes were flown with a Boeing 727-100, which each required a refueling stop) and the Pan Am flew various charter chains to New York, Miami with the Boeing 707 and San Francisco. In 1978 there were scheduled flights to Amsterdam ( DLT ), Berlin ( British Airways ), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), Copenhagen (Lufthansa), London-Heathrow (British Airways), Munich (Lufthansa) and Paris-Charles de Gaulle (Lufthansa). In the 1980s, several airlines returned to Hanover that had suspended their flight connections to and from Hanover in the 1970s. These included Pan Am, SAS, Air France and KLM.
In March 1990, Hapag-Lloyd began intercontinental flights with the Airbus A310-300 to New York, Miami, Toronto, Puerto Plata and Punta Cana. American Trans Air also flew with the Lockheed Tristar to Fort Lauderdale and African Safari Airways with the DC-8 to Mombasa . Most of these intercontinental connections were soon closed again.
The first long-haul connections to the CIS were established in 1994 . Kazakhstan Airlines flew with Boeing 747SP, Ilyushin Il-86 and Tupolew Tu-154 to Almaty and Astana (then still Akmola), Kyrghyzstan Airlines flew with Tupolev Tu-154 to Bishkek and Aeroflot with Ilyushin Il-86 to Novosibirsk and with Tupolev Tu 154 to Omsk.
In 1995 the Condor airline opened a new long-haul hub in Hanover. There were DC-10-30 , Boeing 767-300ER and Boeing 757-200 non-stop flights Bridgetown, Cancun, Colombo, Phuket, Malé, Mauritius, Mombasa, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana and Sharjah. Much of the flights were suspended two years later. In 1997, LTU began non-stop flights to Abu Dhabi, Colombo and Malé, which were soon discontinued. The following year, the new German airline Britannia Airways Germany started long-haul flights to Varadero and Puerto Plata with Boeing 767-300ERs, which were discontinued after two years.
In 2001, Hapag-Lloyd discontinued its last long-haul connection from Hanover with the flights to Punta Cana. In 2003, Condor , which at that time operated under the name Thomas Cook Airlines, started non-stop flights to Moncton and Toronto with Boeing 757-200 for two years.
In 2004, TUI threatened to withdraw the aircraft fleets of its subsidiaries Hapag-Lloyd Flug and Hapag-Lloyd Express from Hanover if its competitor EasyJet settled at the airport. Also Air Berlin threatened in this case by a reduction of capacity in Hanover. In the end, EasyJet was not granted a permit, as TUI and Air Berlin promised in return that their activities at Hanover Airport would be intensified.
On June 3, 2010, an Airbus A380 landed in Hanover for the first time as part of test flights.
In 2015, TUIfly confirmed the media reports that the airline was planning a so-called Iran hub at Hanover Airport as part of a wet lease agreement. The company therefore intended to include routes from Hanover to the Gulf State. Hanover Airport should serve as a transfer point for travelers to the USA, among others. TUIfly initially intended to start three weekly rotations, but an increase to at least daily flights is already being planned. There should be corresponding connecting flights westwards. It was also said that the talks were still going on, but that no conclusion had yet been reached.
As part of the fleet of the new Boeing 777-300ER long-haul aircraft at Swiss, the company regularly sent its new flagship to Hanover on a trial basis in the 2016 summer flight schedule in order to test the processes on board, among other things.
Since the spring of 2018, Condor has been offering long-haul flights to Dubai for a limited period, making this the only current long-haul connection from Hanover.
Air Show / ILA
From 1957 to 1990 the air show took place on the premises of Hanover Airport. The first special aviation show was part of the Hanover Fair in 1957 . The air show developed into an independent event with over 200,000 visitors, which took place every two years from 1960 as the German air show . From 1978 it operated as the International Air and Space Exhibition (ILA) . Up to 300 exhibitors from 30 countries presented innovations from the aerospace sector. The ILA became the third largest European aerospace exhibition after Farnborough in England and Le Bourget in France.
A Concorde landed on German soil for the first time at the airport on April 22, 1972 when the British Aircraft Corporation presented the British prototype of the aircraft at the ILA. In the early 1980s, Hanover also served Concorde as the starting point for several charter flights.
In 1990 the world's first hydrogen aircraft, the Tupolev Tu-155, landed at the ILA in Hanover .
In the course of the 1980s, space problems arose. The airport expanded and regular flight operations could not be disrupted. The exhibition areas therefore had to be reduced in size despite the increasing number of participants and visitors. In 1990 the ILA took place in Hanover for the last time, and in 1992 it moved to Berlin-Schönefeld .

Aircraft noise reduction
The German Center for Aerospace tested at the airport, along with TUIfly in June 2013, a year a procedure for the aircraft noise to be reduced. An approach angle of 4.5 ° instead of 3 ° was flown until the aircraft was about 5 km away from the runway.
Incidents
- On May 6, 1988, the day before the ILA, three of the four crew members of a Boeing-Vertol-CH-47C-Chinook transport helicopter of the British Royal Air Force died , which rammed a passenger boarding bridge (finger) while rolling with one of the two rotors and caught fire .
- On May 26, 1988, a Fokker F27-600 Friendship owned by Danish Star Air (registration number OY-APE ) crashed about 1 km west of runway 09 on approach. During the instrument approach, the aircraft reared up sharply when the landing flaps were extended into the end position, with the cargo slipping backwards. The cargo plane was on its way from Billund Airport via Hanover to Nuremberg Airport . Both pilots were killed (see also the Star Air accident near Hanover in 1988 ) .
- On August 14, 2005, an ERJ-145 shot over runway 27L as a result of aquaplaning and only came to a halt 161 meters after the end of the runway. One person was injured. According to the Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation, the causes were the fact that the crew landed on the much shorter runway 27L and the late touchdown due to a tail wind. Pressing the emergency brake, which was contrary to the operating regulations, switched off the anti-lock braking system and retracted the spoilers, which, according to the investigators, significantly worsened the braking effect.
- On November 14, 2007, an MD 900 Explorer of the Lower Saxony police (registration D-HPNB , callsign Phoenix 92 ) fell on its side during an emergency landing, the three occupants were slightly injured. The machine was totaled. On the way back from an operation, the pilot noticed a malfunction in the control of the NOTAR system while approaching the airport . The cause was a technical defect.
- On December 29, 2018, a vehicle drove onto the tarmac, whereupon flight operations were interrupted from 3:30 p.m. to 8:06 p.m.
