About Luxembourg Airport

Luxembourg Airport (LUX) is the international airport of Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, located at Findel about 6 km east of the city center. It handled about 5.3 million passengers in 2025 and is operated by lux-Airport.

Luxair, the national airline, is based here and flies to cities across Europe, North Africa and Cape Verde, along with many seasonal holiday routes. Other airlines connect Luxembourg with hubs such as Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, Zurich, Istanbul and Lisbon, and Ryanair and easyJet serve several European cities. The airport is also a major cargo hub and home to Cargolux.

Terminal A is the main building, with check-in, the arrivals hall and most gates. Terminal B is a smaller gate building for Schengen flights on smaller aircraft, reached by a covered footbridge.

The airport is the terminus of tram line T1, which runs through Kirchberg to the city center and Central Station, and buses 16 and 29 also serve the city. Public transport in Luxembourg is free. From here, travelers head to Luxembourg City, the Kirchberg business district, Trier in Germany, and other towns across the Grand Duchy.

Arrival tips for Luxembourg Airport

Luxembourg is in the Schengen Area, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport control. If you arrive from outside Schengen, you pass passport control first, and non-EU visitors are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System with fingerprints and a facial image instead of a passport stamp.

All arriving passengers collect their bags and exit into the arrivals hall in Terminal A, even if the plane parked at a Terminal B gate. Car rental desks are in the arrivals hall.

Outside, taxis wait in front of Terminal A. The tram stop for line T1 and the stops for buses 16 and 29 are at the airport, and all public transport in Luxembourg is free, so you do not need a ticket. If someone is collecting you by car, short-term car park C at the terminal entrance is free for the first 15 minutes.

Luxembourg uses the euro and runs on Central European Time (UTC+1), switching to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October.

Ground transportation

The free tram or bus suits most travelers heading to Luxembourg City, while a taxi is easier with heavy luggage.

  • Tram to Kirchberg and the city center

    The airport is the terminus of tram line T1, which runs about every 8 minutes for most of the day through Kirchberg to the city center and Central Station. The ride from the Theater stop in the city center takes about 16 minutes. The tram is free.

  • Bus to Luxembourg City

    Buses 16 and 29 run to the city center every 10 to 15 minutes and pass Luxembourg Central Station; bus 29 from Central Station takes under 22 minutes. Like all public transport in Luxembourg, they are free.

  • Taxi from Luxembourg Airport

    Taxis wait outside Terminal A. The drive to the city center takes about 15 to 20 minutes, longer at rush hour.

  • Rideshare

    The Uber app has worked in Luxembourg since June 2024 through a partnership with WEBTAXI, so a ride booked in the app is a licensed taxi rather than a private car.

  • Bus to Trier and the region

    Regional line 302 links the airport with Trier in Germany, and other regional buses connect to France and Belgium. Check mobiliteit.lu for current schedules.
