Cologne Bonn Airport

Cologne Bonn Airport (IATA code: CGN, ICAO code: EDDK) is the international airport of Germany's fourth-largest city Cologne, and also serves Bonn, former capital of West Germany. It is located in the district of Porz and is surrounded by the Wahner Heide nature reserve. Centrally located in the Cologne Bonn Region, 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) southeast of Cologne city centre and 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) northeast of Bonn, it is one of the country's few 24-hour airports and serves as a hub for Eurowings, FedEx Express and UPS Airlines as well as a focus city for several leisure and low-cost airlines. It is also a host of the German and European space agencies DLR and EAC, part of ESA, which train astronauts there for space explorations.  

The airport has two passenger terminals which are located directly beside each other. The older Terminal 1 is a 1970s building that sports large surfaces of bare concrete in its design. It features a u-shaped main building with shops, restaurants, check-in and service facilities and a visitors deck on its roof as well as the star-shaped piers B and C with five aircraft stands each plus a central airside hall between them added in 2004 with joint security-check facilities, more shops and restaurants as well as three additional stands. All ten stands at both piers feature jet bridges while the other three use walk-boarding. Also several bus-boarding stands are available at the apron. Terminal 1 is used by Eurowings, which occupy most of the landside check-in facilities, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines. Terminal 1 features its own direct connection to the railway station.

Terminal 2 is located to the north of Terminal 1. It is a modern-style rectangular building made out of glass and steel which is equipped with eight stands with jet bridges as well as several stands for bus-boarding. It is used by several airlines such as Ryanair and Iran Air. Terminal 2 is also directly connected to the airports' railway station via the basement level. The terminal hosts an interdenominational prayer room on its base level.

In 2019, the port handled a total of 12,354,398 passengers, representing a decrease of 4.5% from the previous year, with 142,500 aircraft movements, which decreased 1.2% compared that of the previous year.
