history

The beginnings of aviation in Rostock go back to the beginning of the 20th century.

prehistory

Even before the First World War , the city had a combined land and sea airfield built near Hohe Düne .

Used for military purposes in World War I, civilian use began after the war. At the airport, which has been declared a customs sea and land airport of the first order, bathing air traffic and the training of pilots at the German Aviation School played an important role. In addition, the Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke had their first company headquarters in Rostock. Military use took place again in the 1930s and was continued in World War II . In addition to this airport, there were in Rostock the works airfields of the Arado Flugzeugwerke at Groß Klein and the Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in Marienehe since around 1935 .

From the Rostock Hohe Düne airport, Deutsche Lufthansa carried out its last scheduled flights to Scandinavia in April 1945 before the end of the war. After the Second World War, the Rostock airfields and the aircraft works were dismantled. The city no longer had an airport.

Plans from the 1950s to build a new airport east of the city did not materialize.

Military aviators and civil aviation at Laage airfield

In 1984 the Laage military airfield was opened by the East German NVA . The Jagdbombenfliegergeschwader 77 and the Marinefliegergeschwader 28 were stationed at this place .

With German reunification, the Luftwaffe became the host of the airfield.

Civil air traffic began in 1992. This was made possible by a joint-use agreement with the Bundeswehr from January 1992. This states that the airport, which was previously used exclusively for military purposes, was also released for civil use.

The Rostock-Laage-Güstrow GmbH airport built a first terminal and other necessary for civilian air traffic systems. The civil airport was named Rostock-Laage Airport .

While the focus of air traffic was initially on domestic German scheduled connections, holiday air traffic increasingly became the mainstay of the airport. There the focus was initially on connections to southern holiday areas, but now connections for arriving tourists with the holiday destination Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania have also become important.

From 1994 to 2005 Rostock was part of the night airmail system of the Deutsche Post and was flown to nightly with a chartered Boeing 737 of the Deutsche Lufthansa AG for the purpose of night airmail handling. Until 2009, the Munich route was still operated by OLT as part of an airline subsidy from the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

In the terminal there is an exhibition on the history of aviation in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which also includes a replica of the Heinkel He 178 , the world's first jet aircraft.

In January 2008, the new entrance to the airport went into operation. Vehicles that want to drive to the airport no longer have to drive through Weitendorf.

From March 26, 2011, Lufthansa connected the airport to Frankfurt am Main airport for the first time , but the flights have since been suspended.

Since January 2015 there has been a cooperation with the cruise company Costa Crociere . This includes feeder flights for the cruise terminal in Warnemünde. This enabled significant increases in the number of passengers to be achieved. The cooperation developed positively, which is why the companies involved announced in November 2015 that they wanted to handle more flights via the airport. Another partner for cruise feeder flights was added in January 2016 with the shipping company Pullmantur Cruises . The flights are operated by Wamos Air , so that the airport was first served by a regular Boeing 747 on June 20, 2016 , after a VC-25A landed as Air Force One in 2007 as part of a G8 summit . Most recently, in April 2016, there was a cooperation with another cruise company, MSC Cruises . This includes feeder flights for the MSC Opera , which will be calling at Rostock in the 2016 summer season.

After having stationed an Airbus A319 at Rostock Airport in the winter of 2015/2016 , Germania announced in June 2016 that it would be stationing an aircraft at the airport all year round for the first time from 2017. The number of targets has also been increased. On June 4, 2018, VLM Airlines started flights to Cologne / Bonn , but announced two months later that it would discontinue them on September 16, 2018. On August 31, 2018, it was decided to liquidate VLM Airlines, so the flights were terminated early. For January 6, 2019 also was the connection after Stuttgart from Flybmi set.

On February 4, 2019, Germania filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations the following night. Until then, Germania was by far the most important airline for Rostock-Laage Airport. On February 17, 2019, Flybmi also filed for bankruptcy and suspended the remaining scheduled flights to Munich . As a result, there are no more scheduled flights in Rostock-Laage.

Subsequently, the airlines Corendon Airlines , Laudamotion and Fly Egypt announced that they would use Rostock-Laage Airport. Furthermore, Lufthansa announced on March 14, 2019 that it would again be flying between Munich and Rostock-Laage itself from May 1, 2019. There are currently scheduled flights to and from Munich several times a day, with connections to Vienna twice a week and also to Crete and Antalya in summer .

Civil flight operations

use

The airport is used in the civil sector for scheduled and charter flights as well as general aviation. In addition, pilots are trained at the airport, including a. by the Lufthansa flight school .

The passenger terminal with two passenger boarding bridges and a capacity of 1 million passengers per year was opened on September 9, 2005. It is located with other facilities (cargo hall, administration, location of the helicopter squadron of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania police ) south of the runway .

After the bankruptcies of the airlines Germania and Flybmi in early February 2019, there were no more scheduled flights at the airport.

Lufthansa has resumed scheduled operations to Munich since May 2019.

Since the opening of the passenger terminal, the airport has been making losses that have been offset by the public sector.
