A total of 2,586,342 passengers used Dortmund Airport last year. Thanks to the strong summer months with record passenger numbers, the forecast of around 2.45 million passengers has been exceeded despite the pandemic and the war in Europe. Compared to the previous year, Dortmund Airport managed to increase passenger numbers by around 53 per cent (previous year: 1,692,960), almost reaching the level of the record year to date, which was 2019 (with approx. 2.7 million passengers). This was the second-best result in the airport's history.
"We are delighted with the excellent results for the year. A big thank you goes to all our passengers and the airlines who put so much trust in our location. I would also like to thank all the staff at the airport who, as usual, ensured orderly and smooth operations throughout the year, even in times of very high workloads," summarises airport CEO Ludger van Bebber.
