On August 1, 2021, the previous authorized signatory Roland Hüser will take over the management of Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport. The manager was previously the airport's commercial director. Sales manager Klaus Marx stays on board.

“With the new management, which has already proven itself in the recent past, we are optimally positioned for the future. All those involved are passionate about their new tasks and do not need any start-up time to reposition our airport and make it a success ”, emphasizes the district administrator of the Paderborn district, Christoph Rüther, as chairman of the supervisory board. “We have a strong team that knows exactly what the challenges and goals are. I see my new job as a matter close to my heart and approach things with a lot of confidence and optimism, ”says Hüser.

The summer flight schedule 2021 has a small but fine flaw. The holiday flights announced by the ticket marketer Green Airlines are already a thing of the past after just a few legs. Only the Sylt route remains - at least for the time being. Other providers, such as Eurowings and Corendon, are flying according to plan. In the future, Paderborn wants to concentrate more on air freight.

This year, passenger numbers are expected to exceed 2020 levels with fewer than 100.000 passengers. Paderborn Airport is aiming for around 2025 passengers by 800.000. The number of direct employees is to increase from currently 70 to around 100 in the same period; At the same time, the jobs that are indirectly connected to the airport are to increase from currently 700 to around 1.000. The new management also has clear goals for the operating result: after losses of more than 10 million euros in 2020, a balanced result should be achieved by 2025.
