walking in Düsseldorf International Airport (DUS) 2023【4K】

international airport of Düsseldorf, the capital of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is about 7 kilometres (4 mi) north of downtown Düsseldorf, and some 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of Essen in the Rhine-Ruhr area, Germany's largest metropolitan area.
The airport opened on April 19, 1927.
In 2019, over 25 million passengers used the airport, which is connected by 80 airlines to over 230 destinations in 65 countries. Due to travel restrictions resulting from the Covid 19 pandemic, passenger numbers slumped to 6.6 million in 2020. With sales of around 400 million euros and earnings of 57 million euros, it was one of the six most profitable airports in Germany in fiscal 2010
Düsseldorf is the fourth largest airport in Germany and handled almost 8 million passengers in 2021. It is a hub for Eurowings and a focus city for several more airlines. The airport has three passenger terminals and two runways and can handle wide-body aircraft up to the Airbus A380.
Terminals

The terminal buildings

The main check-in hall
Düsseldorf Airport has three terminals connected by a central spine, even though the terminals are essentially concourses within a single terminal building. The current terminal buildings are capable of handling up to 22 million passengers per year.

Terminal A
Terminal A was opened in 1977 and has 16 gates (A01–A16) used by Lufthansa and Eurowings, its airline partners and Star Alliance members, Austrian Airlines, Croatia Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, and Swiss International Air Lines. Terminal A houses two Lufthansa lounges. It was refurbished fundamentally for two years after the 1996 fire.

Terminal B
Terminal B was originally inaugurated in 1973 and has 11 gates (B01–B11) used for domestic and EU-flights by a few Star Alliance members such as Aegean Airlines, but mainly by SkyTeam and Oneworld members like Air France, British Airways, KLM, Finnair, Iberia and ITA Airways. Also located within this terminal are leisure carriers such as TUIfly and Condor. Terminal B houses an observation deck and one contract lounge.[33] After the fire in 1996 the whole terminal building was torn down and reconstructed. It was reopened in 2001.

Terminal C
Terminal C was opened in 1986 and has 8 gates (C01–C08) used exclusively for non-Schengen-flights by non-Star Alliance airlines (except Turkish Airlines). These are long-haul flights – among others – by Emirates and Etihad Airways. Terminal C has a direct access to Airport City's Maritim Hotel, part of a German hotel chain, and houses lounges operated by the airport and Emirates. Terminal C was the least affected Terminal after the fire in 1996. It was still reopened in 1996 after intensive maintenance works. Thus it was the only usable Terminal at Düsseldorf Airport for a couple of years. Terminal C features the airport's only parking position equipped with three jet-bridges to handle the Airbus A380.
Road connection
Highway 44 is part of the Düsseldorf beltway. The airport has its own exit (No. 31). The A 44 passes the airport in an east-west direction (Aachen-Düsseldorf), it provides connections to the A 52 to the northeast (Essen) and west (Roermond (NL)) as well as to the A 57 (Cologne-Nijmegen), the A 3 (to Cologne and the Ruhr area) and to the B8n, which has been upgraded to resemble a freeway and runs parallel to the runway from the A 44 "Stockum" junction via Kaiserswerth to the A 59 to Duisburg.

Light rail connection
A connection of the airport to the Düsseldorf light rail system (U-Bahn) with its own subway station is currently under construction (as of June 2022). The planned U81 light rail line will connect Düsseldorf Airport with the trade fair center and the city center. In the medium to long term, the districts on the left bank of the Rhine as well as Meerbusch and Krefeld are also to be connected to the airport. This will require crossing the Rhine (tunnel or bridge) in a second construction phase.[5] The construction measures for connecting to the existing network (first construction phase) are to be completed by 2024.

Düsseldorf Airport long-distance train station

Düsseldorf Airport Terminal suburban train station
The new Düsseldorf Airport station was opened in 2000. It is located on the northeastern edge of the airport site, just under 2.5 kilometers from the terminals on the Cologne-Duisburg rail line. Up to 300 trains stop here every day. The connection between the terminals and the long-distance train station is provided by the driverless Skytrain.
