Hamburg Airport is expecting a wave of travel in the next few weeks: around 35.000 passengers are expected to arrive and depart each day up to the Easter holidays.

Because shortly after the end of the March holidays in Hamburg, the holidays in the other northern German states begin. Around 150 take-offs and 150 landings are planned on the busiest travel days. Especially at popular departure times such as early in the morning, passengers should arrive at the airport two hours in advance and use online and automated check-in services.

In the next few weeks, Hamburg Airport is expecting more than 2022 arriving and departing passengers per week for the first time in 200.000 - in some cases more than 60 percent compared to the pre-Corona year 2019. Overall, after the winter months, this is the hoped for trend reversal. In March, around 50 percent of the 2019 passengers traveled from Hamburg Airport on a weekly average.

"During the Easter holidays, many families from the surrounding federal states are drawn to the largest airport in northern Germany. This year – as in the March holidays in Hamburg – classic holiday destinations such as Mallorca, Turkey or the Canary Islands are particularly popular,” says Katja Bromm, Head of Communications at Hamburg Airport. “For many passengers it will be their first flight in more than two years and airport procedures may have been somewhat forgotten. We therefore recommend that all passengers plan a little more time than usual and prepare well with our five travel tips.”
