Frankfurt Airport (FRA), officially Flughafen Frankfurt Main, serves Frankfurt am Main and the Rhine-Main region in Germany. It is the busiest airport in Germany and handled about 63.2 million passengers in 2025.
Lufthansa's main hub is here, with flights across Europe and long-haul routes to North and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Star Alliance partners such as United Airlines, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines add more links, while Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, British Airways, Air France and KLM serve their own hubs. Condor and Discover Airlines fly to holiday destinations worldwide.
Passengers use Terminal 1, home of Lufthansa and most Star Alliance airlines, and Terminal 3, which opened in April 2026 for most other airlines. Terminal 2 closed in June 2026 for renovation. The SkyLine train links the terminals.
The airport sits about 12 kilometers southwest of central Frankfurt, where the A3 and A5 motorways meet, and has its own regional and long-distance train stations. From here travelers head to Frankfurt, Mainz and Wiesbaden, and by ICE train to Cologne, Heidelberg, Stuttgart and other German cities.

After landing, follow the signs to passport control if you arrive from outside the Schengen Area. Germany is in the Schengen Area: if you hold a non-EU passport, the Entry/Exit System (EES), fully in place since April 2026, records your fingerprints and photo at passport control, and the ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Flights from other Schengen countries skip passport control.
Collect your bags and pass through customs into the arrivals area of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3. Terminal 2 closed in June 2026, so check your arrival terminal before arranging a meeting point.
