Hamburg Airport (IATA: HAM, ICAO: EDDH), also known as Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel Airport (German: Flughafen Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel), is an international airport serving Hamburg, Germany.
It originally covered 440,000 square metres. Since then, the site has grown more than tenfold to 5.7 square kilometres. The main apron covers 320,000 square meters. The Airport is 8.5 km north-west of the centre of the City of Hamburg in the Fuhlsbüttel quarter.
The Airport was opened in January 1911, it is the oldest Airport in Germany which is still in operation. In the 1970s, there were discussions of moving Hamburg airport northward to a site near Kaltenkirchen. This plan was subsequently abandoned, and the airport is completing a major modernization that includes new terminal buildings, a new hotel right across from the terminal, new roadside access and a connection to Hamburg's rapid transit system (S-Bahn).
Hamburg Airport (measured by the number of passengers) is the fifth busiest of the 16 German commercial airports (after Tegel International Airport in Berlin).
The shareholders of Hamburg Airport are the City of Hamburg (51%) and Hochtief AirPort GmbH. (49%).
In 2008, Hamburg airport served 12,840,000 passengers and 173,500 aircraft movements.[3]
Hamburg airport has 17 jet-ways and 54 apron positions. Runways, taxiways and aprons are able to handle the Airbus A380, although there is no scheduled A380-service expected. Hamburg Airport is the diversion airport for Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport (XFW), the airport of the Airbus plant in Hamburg, where all A380 are being painted and interior fitted.

[edit] Transport to/from airport
HVV, the Hamburg public transit network, runs the S-Bahn-line (suburban railway) S 1 which links the airport directly to the city centre. Journey time is 25 minutes to the central station (Hauptbahnhof), and about 30 minutes to the inner city centre, townhall and major shopping and business districts. Trains run every 10 minutes, in the very early morning and late evening every 20 minutes. The one-way-fare is € 2,70.
Passengers travelling in the direction from the city centre to the airport have to pay attention at Ohlsdorf, the last station before reaching the airport, because all trains are being split up at this station. The front part-train (carriages 1, 2 and 3) proceeds to the airport, while the rear part-train (carriages 4, 5 and 6) is running to Poppenbüttel, a suburb of Hamburg. There are sufficient signs and announcements in German and English language to get the passengers informed. In addition the trains stop at Ohlsdorf for about 2 minutes to allow passengers to change to a carriage which runs to their intended destination.
The first train in the morning departs from central station at 04:04 a.m. and arrives at the airport at 04:30 a.m. The last train in the evening departs from the airport at 00:14 a.m. During the night-break of the trains a night bus service connects the airport to the city centre.
The airport is also linked by some local bus routes to nearby areas as well as regular coach services to the cities of Kiel, Neumünster and Lübeck. Taxistands are located on the arrival level in front of each terminal. Journey time to the city centre is about 25 minutes, depending on traffic. Prices vary in a range of 18 - 25 Euro, depending on the destination. All taxis in Germany are metered taxis.
