 international airport  Add category

Hamburg's airport is the oldest German airport still in operation. It's also the airport closest to a city's center.

The airport opened January, 1912, as Hamburger Luftschiffhallen (airship halls Hamburg). The use by airships didn't last long though due to World War I.

Today, the airport's focus is on national and European traffic. There are a few intercontinental routes, too, though, namely New York and Toronto in North America, Dubai in the Middle East and Shanghai in China.
