Right of way for electric taxis at Hamburg Airport

As of today, environmentally friendly e-taxis can go right up front at Hamburg Airport.

At the boarding areas directly in front of the terminals, the first two seats will in future be reserved for purely electric taxis. This gives you a better starting position for interested passengers. In this way, Hamburg Airport supports the city's “Zukunftstaxi” funding program, which creates incentives for the environmentally friendly electrification of Hamburg's taxi fleet.

"If you compare taxis' advertising for passengers with a car race, e-taxis are now always in pole position. As an important infrastructure company in Hamburg, we are doing our part to promote the conversion of the taxi fleet to more environmentally friendly drives. The combination of municipal funding for the purchase, clear advantages when boarding passengers and easily available charging infrastructure makes the switch attractive. At our airport, too, we are promoting the use of alternative drives with our mobility concept: we now even push airplanes with pure electric power and run passenger stairs with solar energy," says Michael Eggenschwiler, CEO of Hamburg Airport.
