The Dortmund airport , own name: Dortmund Airport 21 , is a regional commercial airport ; it is located in the east of Dortmund on the city limits to Holzwickede and Unna . Measured by the number of passengers, the airport is the third largest commercial airport in North Rhine-Westphalia . It ranks 10th across Germany. In 2018, the airport was one of the 10 most punctual airports in the world and the most punctual in Germany.
The airport complex extends from the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in the west , which was expanded in 1987, to the main terminal in the east, which was completed in 2000.
Much of the flight operations are carried out by low-cost airlines . In addition, there is a larger proportion of regular tourist traffic, business travel and general aviation . On the grounds of the airport there is a squadron of the North Rhine-Westphalia police pilots and a DRF air rescue station .
history
Old location
Dortmund Airport was originally located in the Brackel district. There is still the airport road there today, which occasionally leads to confusion for those unfamiliar with the area. The station in the immediate vicinity was also called Dortmund Airport Station until 1986 , before it was renamed.
On November 15, 1917, the then Lord Mayor of Dortmund, Ernst Eichhoff , spoke publicly for the first time about the plan to set up an airfield north of the village of Brackel. A corresponding contract was signed on May 18, 1918 and work began on building the landing area, which, like many other airfields at that time, was laid out in a circular shape.
Negotiations were held with Deutsche Aero Lloyd and Junkers Luftverkehr AG to connect the cities in the Ruhr area to the international route network of the airlines. On May 25, 1925, the city of Dortmund took part in the founding meeting of Luftverkehr Aktiengesellschaft Westfalen with various cities in the Ruhr area. The aim of the company was to promote air traffic.
In autumn of that year, however, it became apparent that the city could no longer bear the financial burdens. Flughafen GmbH was founded on April 16, 1926 . Partners were the German Reich , the Prussian State, the Westphalia Provincial Association, the City and District of Dortmund, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and some companies.
After the merger of Aero Lloyd and Junkers Luftverkehr AG in January 1926 to form Deutsche Luft Hansa AG , twelve aircraft took off and landed at Dortmund Airport every day.
On April 27, 1925, the airfield was put into operation with the integration into the airline Copenhagen - Hamburg - Bremen - Dortmund - Frankfurt (M) - Stuttgart - Zurich. Further connections were added during the current flight plan period and ultimately the cities of Hanover, Berlin, Halle, Leipzig, Bremen, Hamburg and Amsterdam could be reached directly. In 1928, the airport recorded over 8,000 take-offs and landings, making it the most important airfield in western Germany alongside Cologne .
On August 10, 1930, the Graf Zeppelin airship landed at Brackel Airport , attended by 120,000 people.
In 1939 civil air traffic was discontinued and the military took over the facility as Dortmund-Brackel Air Base . The last planes left the airfield on March 28, 1945. The airport was bombed during World War II and taken over by the Royal Air Force after the war . Between 1953 and 1959 the airfield in Brackel was used by sports aviation.
In 1950 the brothers Theo and Hans Hengsbach and other aviation enthusiasts founded the Aero-Club eV as the successor to the Dortmund Aviation Association. Three years later the first German glider took off again in Brackel, in 1955 the Hengsbach brothers made their first sightseeing flights.
On May 5, 1955, the Federal Republic regained air sovereignty . However, Dortmund Airport was no longer represented in the Lufthansa network because there was no space for the new and larger aircraft in Brackel. When a missile unit of the British Rhine Army was stationed in the Napier Barracks in 1959 , flight operations at the Brackel location were finally ceased. Civil aviation was looking for a new location and found it in the Wickede district.
After the withdrawal of the British armed forces in 1995, it was used for a new purpose. Today there is a golf course at the Brackel location, the training area for the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and a new development area. Only a few references such as bunkers in the nearby Buschei nature reserve remind of the former use as an airport. The last airport buildings and former military buildings still in existence at the Brackel site were leveled from 2007, and residential development has now taken place here.
New location
Dortmund Airport is now located in the Wickede district.
Start in Wickede
The civil use of Dortmund Airport at the new location was inaugurated with the landing of a sports machine in 1960 on a grass runway. Only three years later, on February 1, 1963, the airport received approval for gliders and powered aircraft from the district president in Münster.
The course for the general expansion of the airport was set by the City Council of Dortmund on February 24, 1969 with the decision to build a runway with a length of 850 meters. At the same time, the council decided to expand the airport with all necessary ancillary facilities and to reinstate the old operator. Almost two years later, on April 1, 1971, Flughafen Dortmund GmbH became active again as the city's own municipal company.
The end for the glider pilots, who had set up the Wickede location, came in 1973. Small, regionally operating airlines, including Aerowest , at that time the largest Cessna dealer in Europe and provider of charter, photo and video services , followed Sightseeing flights. The airport was professionalized in 1974 with the expansion of the 650 meter long and 20 meter wide grass runway, which was paved with asphalt and put into operation. In 1975 the first 850-meter track was built.
In 1979 the first scheduled flights were set up by RFG - Reise- und Industrieflug, later Eurowings, with the opening of the Dortmund - Munich route. The newly built 850 m long runway (plus 100 meters of paved stop areas each) with a width of 30 meters was now called the Ruhr Area Startbahn and was opened in 1983 by Prime Minister Johannes Rau . Just four years later, in 1987, the terminal building was expanded and the runway was extended to 1050 meters (plus 200 meters of concrete stopping areas).
To enable larger aircraft to land in Dortmund, the runway was extended to 1,450 m in 1997, including the stopping areas ( BAe 146 / Avro ). As a result, the payload restrictions of the primarily used ATR turboprops could be significantly reduced.
2000s
The section-wise extension of the runway continued. In 2000, the runway was expanded to a length of 2000 meters and a width of 45 meters. In the same year, after around two and a half years of construction, a new terminal was opened for up to 2.5 million passengers a year.
In 2001, the airport recorded over a million passengers for the first time.
In 2002, underground refueling was installed in Dortmund (see airport system).
Since the number of passengers fell due to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, low-cost airlines were recruited. This increased the number of passengers by almost 600,000 by the end of 2005. This made it the third largest airport in North Rhine-Westphalia. The airport has also become important as an employer: over 1,500 people were working at Dortmund Airport at the time. The Dauair company chose Dortmund as its operational base with several aircraft stationed there, but ceased operations shortly afterwards.
In 2006 it recorded over 2 million passengers for the first time.
Due to the steady increase in passengers, construction work began in October 2007 for additional waiting rooms. The building for this adjoins the development on the west side.
The extension to the west of the terminal was opened on June 28, 2008. In the eastern part of the site, a new parking lot P3 was created, which has a total of 800 vehicles. The transport capacity of the old baggage conveyor system of 240,000 items has been increased to around twice as much by renewing the system.
In 2008 and the years that followed, many airlines shut down several lines, which significantly reduced the number of passengers. Newly added lines from other low-cost airlines slowly compensated for the lines that were no longer available.
2010s
Since 2010, Wizz Air in particular has been expanding its capacities, which rose from just over 700,000 passengers in 2010 to just under 1.2 million in 2018. In 2018 alone, Wizz added 10 new destinations to its program. The ILS (see airport facility) was renewed from 2016 to 2017. In addition, there was a second security check.
In 2019, the operating times were extended and a new passenger record was set.
2020s
From August 2020, Wizz Air, the first airline since easyJet to withdraw in 2008, will operate a significant base at Dortmund Airport. Three A320s will be stationed. Up to this point in time, only Eurowings had a plane stationed in Dortmund. With the announcement of the base, the airport announced that it wanted to improve the infrastructure. It is not yet known in which areas the improvements will be found.
Economic development
The Flughafen Dortmund GmbH is 26% owned by the City of Dortmund and 74% owned by the Dortmunder Stadtwerke AG , which in turn is 100% owned by the city of Dortmund. In 2018, the airport roughly reached the passenger level of 2008, making it the fastest growing airport in Germany in 2018. The annual deficit is borne entirely by the shareholders.
The airport has been operating in deficit since 1998.
2000 to 2008
Construction of the terminal and the runway
Dortmund Airport received around 20 million euros in funding from the state, federal government and the EU for the construction work to expand the runway and to expand the terminal. The expansion, which was completed in autumn 2000, was closely tailored to the needs of Eurowings Luftverkehrs AG in terms of planning and subsequently led to restrictions in flight operations, which later led to renewed expansion discussions (see “Plans for the future”).
After the expansion in 2000, the annual deficit rose from initially around EUR 9 million to EUR 28.3 million (2004) and has since declined until 2007 (EUR 19.9 million). The main reason for this was initially the gradual relocation of routes by the airline Eurowings (after the entry of Lufthansa with today's 49 percent share) and the general slump in the aviation market between 2001 and 2004.
NERES funding program
To improve the economic situation, the NERES funding program was introduced in 2004 , which is intended to increase passenger numbers. It enables airlines to reduce take-off and landing fees when adding new destinations (from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2009). With the introduction of this measure, the airport is also generating losses in the operational area, but these are slowly being reduced. In July 2007 the EU Commission began to legally review the NERES program in order to exclude the granting of inadmissible state aid. In 2012 the program was declared legal.
Since 2009
2009 to 2012 - many routes and airlines withdrawn
In 2009, the customers easyJet and Germanwings relocated a total of three aircraft to other bases due to the operating times that were not in line with the market, which caused a sharp drop in passengers and earnings. In 2009 the deficit rose to 24.5 million euros.
In 2012, the airport generated a turnover of 22 million euros and a loss of 18.5 million euros.
2012 - EU action
On 21 March 2012, called for European Commission , the Federal Republic of Germany on to complaints against the new charges (NEO) of the airport Dortmund to comment. The Commission had doubts about the compatibility of the economic activities of Dortmund Airport with the rules of the European internal market . In 2012 the NEO was declared legal.
2016 ongoing - further progress
The airport has been able to continuously increase its aviation revenues since 2016, but these are negatively influenced by special effects, provisions and the current interest rate trend. The airport has been able to record seven-digit annual gains in its aviation division since 2016, but these had virtually no impact on the annual result due to the special effects. Since 2013, the annual result has mainly been influenced by various savings in operations. For example, the airport's expenditures fell by over € 5 million from 2015 to 2017.
From 2020, the federal government will assume the cost of air traffic control at various regional airports. In the case of Dortmund, this will provide relief of around € 1.6 million.
future
Forecasts
At the beginning of 2019, the target was issued until 2024 at least a balanced operating result. At the beginning of 2020, due to the elimination of air traffic control costs, a balanced operating result was expected at the end of the year, but this forecast was corrected due to the Covid-19 pandemic .
Aid guidelines of the EU
Due to an EU regulation from 2014, the airport must achieve a balanced operating result by the beginning of 2024. Financial equalization or subsidies from the public sector are then no longer permitted for 3 million passengers or more. Between 700,000 and 3 million passengers would still be allowed up to 50% operating aid. In 2019, the operating result was around € -380,000.

From 2005
In 2005 take-offs and landings were allowed until 10:00 p.m. In addition, 20 delayed landings were allowed until 11 p.m.
Mid-2014 to the end of 2015
On November 18, 2010, the Dortmund City Council voted by a majority in favor of extending the operating times at Dortmund Airport. With a large crowd of spectators from the airport opponents and supporters, it was decided in the council meeting that an application should be submitted to the district government of Münster. This application provides for the operating hours to be extended to 10:30 p.m. and a delay tolerance to 11 p.m. For airlines that have stationed their machines at Dortmund Airport, the regulation is to apply half an hour longer. In the future, it will be possible for planes to land in Dortmund by 11:30 p.m. The application was approved by the Münster district government in May 2014. From May 23, 2014, take-offs were allowed until 10:30 p.m. and landings until 11 p.m. A maximum of 20 delays of up to 30 minutes per month were permitted.
On December 3, 2015, the Münster Higher Administrative Court revoked the operating hours and declared them to be illegal.
End of 2015 to August 2018
The operating times have been reset to the regulations from 2005.
Since August 2018
On August 23, 2018, the Münster district government allowed new operating times. However, the permitted operating times differed from those requested by the airport. The airport had requested delayed take-offs until 11 p.m. and unlimited landings until 11 p.m. The parliamentary group DIE LINKE & PIRATEN Dortmund have filed a lawsuit against this decision.
Only starts until 10:00 p.m. were still allowed. However, delayed starts are now possible until 10:30 p.m. Landings are still possible until 10:00 p.m. Another four daily scheduled landings are possible until 23:00. Delayed landings are possible until 11:30 p.m. A maximum of 16 delays per month are allowed.
Passenger and airline development
2000 to 2005 - increase in passenger numbers
In 2001, the number of passengers exceeded the million mark for the first time. A total of 1,064,153 passengers used the airport. But just one year later, Dortmund Airport also had to deal with the aviation crisis following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 . The number of passengers fell to 994,508.
In order to increase the number of passengers again, the segment of low-cost airlines arrived at Dortmund Airport in 2004 : the airline easyJet connected the airport with many European destinations and stationed several aircraft. The airline Wizz Air also started its scheduled flights to Eastern Europe.
In 2005 the airport was able to record a significant increase with more than 30,000 take-offs and landings and over 1.7 million passengers a year. This made Dortmund the third largest airport in North Rhine-Westphalia for the first time. The Dauair company chose Dortmund as its operational base with several aircraft stationed there.
2006 to 2010 - passenger record and deep fall
The two million passenger mark was exceeded for the first time in 2006. This year, 2,019,666 passengers used the airport. Dauair stopped its flight operations. The low-cost airline segment continued to grow. The airline Germanwings made Dortmund one of its bases in the summer and stationed one aircraft first, and a second one for the winter flight schedule.
Sterling Airlines was also new, offering three destinations in Scandinavia as of the 2007/2008 winter flight schedule. Wizz Air also expanded its flight schedule. With 2,155,064 passengers carried, the airport closed 2007 with a slight increase in the number of passengers.
German Wings built in 2008 its involvement with three new targets and OLT took Heringsdorf to Dortmund in the summer schedule. Sterling Airlines ceased its flight connections to Dortmund on May 26th. In addition, Lufthansa stopped its flights to Munich on May 31, 2008. EasyJet also canceled some destinations for the winter flight schedule (from October 26th). From December onwards, Wizz Air Dortmund connected three new destinations. With the discontinuation of the airlines, the number of passengers at Dortmund Airport plummeted. Only in October 2009 did they stabilize at a lower level.
2011 to 2015 - many airlines withdrew
In May 2012, easyJet announced that it would close its base in Dortmund and discontinue all routes except London by autumn 2012. Air Berlin closed its base in Dortmund at the beginning of November 2012 and withdrew the aircraft based here and the 43 employees. In addition to the company's own savings program, the reason is also the decline in demand due to the aviation tax.
From March 2013 Ryanair started from Dortmund, so that at least some of the route cancellations by the other airlines could be absorbed.
Furthermore, Wizz Air canceled the Lviv and Donetsk destinations in 2014 due to the political unrest in Ukraine.
In 2015 Air Berlin announced that Dortmund Airport would no longer be served from the 2015 summer flight schedule. Germanwings' flights have been operated under the name of Eurowings since 2015 .
2016 to 2019 - growth through Wizz Air up to the new passenger record
In 2017, three airlines (Wizz Air, Eurowings and Ryanair) handled over 92.4% of the traffic in Dortmund. This again reached over 2 million passengers.
In 2018, Wizz Air offered ten new routes from Dortmund, significantly expanding its commitment. In addition, this year it was one of the ten most punctual airports in the world with a punctuality rate of 85%. In Germany you were the most punctual. A flight counts as unpunctual if it is more than 15 minutes late.
Between July 2018 and December 2019, the airport frequently recorded growth rates of 15% to over 25% compared to the same month in the previous year, making it the fastest growing airport in Germany over the entire period. These growth rates were achieved without any significant losses from airline bankruptcies in the same month of the previous year. For example, Berlin-Tegel and Düsseldorf "benefited" in terms of growth rates from the Air Berlin bankruptcy in 2017 and a resulting "Air Berlin effect" from 2018, in which many flights have been canceled in several months since October 2017 then were offered again a year later by another airline. From this point of view, the consistently high growth rates in these years are almost unique in Germany. Only the airport in Memmingen was able to achieve or occasionally even exceed this growth with a comparably high number of passengers. During the Easter holidays in 2019, 29.8% more passengers and 30.5% more flights were recorded than in the Easter holidays in 2018.
The goal we set ourselves at the beginning of 2019 of 2.5 million passengers by the end of the year was clearly exceeded with over 2.7 million passengers. It increased the number of passengers within a year by over 19% by more than 430,000 passengers. This represented a new passenger record.
Current
January 2020 was the first month since May 2018 with a growth of less than 10% compared to the same month last year. Nevertheless, 2020 got off to a promising start with growth rates of 9.5% in January and 13.2% in February. This continued to achieve the highest growth in a busy airport in Germany without the effect of an airline bankruptcy.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , air traffic almost came to a standstill from mid-March 2020.
On June 18, 2020, Wizz Air announced at a press conference at the airport that it would station three A320s in Dortmund from August. After twelve years, it is the first major airline base and the first Wizz base in Germany. The airline increased its capacity at the airport with the expansion of the service by over a million passengers per year to around 2.7 million. This, together with the other airlines, would exceed the capacity of the terminal, which is why the airport announced investments.
Route network
With a share of over 80%, the route network from Dortmund mainly includes Eastern European destinations that are served exclusively by low-cost carriers.
From July 2020, the route network will be expanded to include a destination. 18 more will be added in August, including mainly destinations in Greece and Italy.

Instrument landing system
- ILS: Approach to all-weather flight operating level CAT II
- It was renewed in 2016 and 2017
Underground refueling
The underground fueling system used in Dortmund, which was installed in 2002, is unique in Germany. The kerosene is stored decentrally in two tanks and is pumped through underground pipes to the positions of the aircraft at the gates using appropriate safety devices. A device is installed on the apron at each gate that replaces the so-called dispenser and pumps the kerosene into the aircraft's tank. This device can be lowered into the ground. The system has the advantage that it reduces traffic on the airfield, so that safety is increased and the aircraft can be refueled comparatively quickly. The system refuels an aircraft with 1000 liters of kerosene per minute and can refuel four aircraft at the same time.
Airport fire brigade
The airport fire brigade consists of a part-time and full-time fire brigade.
Full-time airport fire brigade
The full-time airport fire brigade consists of 21 employees, five of whom work 24-hour shifts.
Part-time airport fire department
The part-time fire brigade consists of 40 airport employees who have completed basic training as a volunteer fire brigade. Six employees are on call at the fire station during their working hours. In the event of a fire, they submit to the full-time airport fire brigade.
General
The fire brigade is therefore constantly manned by eleven employees. The airport fire brigade is one of the few in Germany to use only fluorine-free foam concentrates. Foam concentrates containing fluorine are poorly degradable and harmful to humans and the environment.

beekeeping
The airport has three bee colonies with a total of around 150,000 bees in order to measure the environmental quality of the honey at the airport. The fire brigade at the airport is responsible for beekeeping. The honey can be bought at the airport.
terrain
The airport area is 220 hectares, of which 135 hectares are green. This makes the airport the largest contiguous green space in the city of Dortmund. 97 different bird species live on the site, including some threatened with extinction.
Company on the airport premises
Flight School Dortmund
The Dortmund Flight Training Center, the largest private aviation pilot school in North Rhine-Westphalia, is located at Dortmund Airport .
The flight school offers two Redbird flight simulators for use.
Star Wings - airline
Star Wings is an airline with three aircraft (as of 2017) that offers business flights. With the " Cessna Citation CJ3 Full Flight Simulator (Level D)" it has the only simulator for this type of aircraft in Europe.
Transport links
Street
The airport is located directly on the B1 . Access to the B1 is possible from the east via the A44 , from the north and south via the A1 or B236 . In the west you come from the A40 to the B1. This means that the airport is in the immediate vicinity of large and important traffic axes.
Park
The airport has 4,700 parking spaces, 50% of which are covered.
The best free P + R car park is at the Hauptfriedhof underground station of the U47. Travel time to the airport is 22 minutes. You have to change between the U47 and the 490 once.
Public transport
The airport has no direct connection to the rail network or the Dortmund urban railway . The “last mile” is covered by bus.
| Departure point | Line (s) | Travel time | Tact | Composite | Others |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dortmund Central Station | Airport Express | 22 minutes | 30 or 60 minutes | Special rate | Transport company Breitenbach |
| Dortmund Central Station | U47 and 490 | 38 minutes | Every 20 or 30 minutes | VRR | Connection with change |
| Dortmund Aplerbeck | 490 | 13 minutes | Every 20 or 30 minutes | VRR | |
| Holzwickede train station | Airport shuttle | 6 minutes | 2 to 4 times an hour | Special rate | Connection for Rail & Fly customers |
| Unna train station | C41 | 24 minutes | Hourly | Westphalia tariff |
Furthermore, a bus runs with the 440 line through the west and south of Dortmund and then connects to the 490 in Aplerbeck. From Oespel it usually runs every 10 minutes, from Lütgendortmund every 20 minutes.
If a Rail & Fly ticket is purchased, it is a connection to Holzwickede train station in combination with the airport shuttle that operates there. The price of the shuttle is already included with Rail & Fly.
The Airport Express also drives to the Westfalenhallen at international trade fairs.
Criticism of the airport
The new expansion plans are politically controversial, both among the political parties represented in the city council and in the social environment (residents, airport and aircraft noise opponents). For example, the Association for Aviation Noise Dortmund - District Unna , which has been criticizing the development for years, points out the resulting aircraft noise and takes a critical look at the necessity of previous and future expansion measures. The association collects its own aircraft noise data and publishes it.
However, the airport has also been criticized for its short runway, which makes landing common aircraft types (e.g. Airbus A321 and A321neo) difficult or even impossible in adverse weather conditions. Compared to the previously mentioned criticisms, this criticism pursues completely opposite goals.
On February 2, 2010, the chairman of the board of directors of the Dortmund-based insurance group Signal-Iduna , Reinhold Schulte , publicly criticized Dortmund Airport in the media Ruhr-Nachrichten and WAZ. Schulte would close the airport immediately. He cited economic reasons and a lack of attractiveness. He also criticized the cross-subsidization by the Dortmund municipal utilities , without which gas and water could be sold more cheaply. The cost-benefit calculation would not be correct. “Companies calculate differently. They would have pulled the brakes long ago. ”Schulte admitted that he represents a minority opinion at the top of the IHK.
It is also criticized that the airport generates a loss every year that has to be compensated by the owner. These losses are offset by higher prices in other areas of the DSW21 (e.g. water) or by savings in the local public transport network. In 2016, an operating result of minus 1.87 million euros was achieved. The loss including ongoing depreciation and interest for the construction of the terminal as well as costs for air traffic control was 14.9 million euros.
The Greens in Dortmund have announced that they will support the aircraft noise protection community in Unna if the decision to move the threshold is positive. This in turn wants to take legal action against approval of the relocation. The Greens justified this with the further increased dependence on Wizz, the climate discussion, increasing aircraft noise, falling passenger numbers due to Corona and the continued negative annual balance sheet. It was demanded that the city should instead take care of a future-proof reuse of the airport grounds and the corresponding jobs instead of expanding the airport further. The Greens' OB candidate ( Daniela Schneckenburger ) gave a panel discussion between Ver.di and all OB candidates for 2020 in May 2020 to understand that the airport would only be closed if the balance sheet persisted. It was also pointed out that all jobs would be kept if the site was closed. The press release of the Greens states that this should be done via a future-proof new use of the airport grounds. The city council should work out what this new use could look like.
Lawsuits against the airport
- 2014: Lawsuit against the operating hours applicable from May 23, 2014 (successful, end of 2015)
- 2018: Lawsuit against the operating times from August 23, 2018, filed at the end of 2018 (ongoing, as of June 10, 2020)
plans for the future
Relocation of the landing bumps
The landing bumps are to be offset by 300 meters (first the eastern, later the western) in order to enable larger or newer types of aircraft to land in Dortmund. In particular, Wizz Air , the airport's main customer, is expanding its fleet, primarily with the A321neo . This type of aircraft can basically land and take off in Dortmund, but not in adverse conditions such as wet or slippery conditions.
The airport itself argues in favor of an extended landing route, especially with advantages for residents, such as B. that newer aircraft (like the A321neo ) also have quieter engines. Critics believe that the quieter engine argument is a “salami tactic”. They fear a higher number of machines and deeper landing approaches, due to the relocation of the landing bumps.
On May 29, 2020, the application to relocate the eastern threshold was submitted to the Münster district government. The proposed threshold relocation is justified by the increased safety when newer aircraft land in adverse weather conditions. The Schutzgemeinschaft Fluglärm Unna has announced that it will request inspection of the documents after the decision.
The threshold 06 in the west of the field cannot simply be relocated due to obstacles in the approach area.
Expansion of the runway
In 2006, a long-term extension of 800 meters to the west was planned. More recent plans envisage examining the extension of the runway by 300 meters (150 meters in each direction) from 2030.
Public transport
There are several plans to better connect the airport to the rail network. Several proposals were reviewed in 2008, all of which produced a negative result. In mid-June 2019, business development agencies in the Ruhr area again discussed a rail link and commissioned a feasibility study for € 250,000.
Extension of the main line of the U47
In order to establish a connection between the light rail and the airport, there are plans to build a single-track junction behind the Hauptfriedhof stop in the underpass of the B1, to come back to the surface north of the B1 and the route along the B1 and the street “Wickeder Chaussee ”to the airport. The station would be underground. The line would continue to Holzwickeder station and end there. Due to a negative cost-benefit ratio, only route security was pursued. Additional costs of over € 3 million were expected.
In 2020 this extension was discussed again in the city council. Most of the parties refused to do so in order to concentrate on other expansion plans.
H-Bahn Holzwickede station
Another idea was to connect the Holzwickeder train station with the airport via an H-train . Since this proposal at that time also had an insufficient (but positive) cost-benefit ratio (0.36), this proposal was not pursued any further. Additional expenses of € 80,000 per year were expected for this variant.
Incidents
- On the evening of November 20, 1985, a private Cessna 421 coming from Vienna crashed about 1 kilometer from the runway in bad weather on approach. The four occupants of the machine were killed.
- On March 25, 2011, air traffic was suspended at noon due to an incident involving a historic small aircraft. It opened again around 4 p.m. The flights were either delayed or they were diverted to Münster / Osnabrück or Paderborn / Lippstadt .
Others
Specialty
If an aircraft of a certain size (for example Airbus A319 , Boeing 737 ) reaches one of the parking positions 5–12, it is pushed backwards into its parking position. The engines are turned off. Jets of this size parking forwards independently would penetrate the obstacle free areas with their tail unit, in this case the lateral transition area. This, in turn, would possibly result in an increase in the obstacle clearance altitude / height (OCA / H).
Planespotting
The airport is very popular with plane spotters due to several outdoor observation points, the general proximity to the runway and the unobstructed view of it .
Lufthansa Dortmund
.jpg)
The Lufthansa names its aircraft according to German federal states or cities and 'inaugurates' this in a ceremony at the airport. Since the A350-900 could not land in Dortmund, the christening was carried out on May 29, 2018 with a double " low approach ", in which it passed the airport twice at low altitude.
