Düsseldorf sees milestone 20 millionth traveler by year's end at the airport

Düsseldorf Airport, one of Germany's leading airports and a key player among Europe's top 30 airports, has recently surpassed the 20 million passenger mark for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. This significant milestone was marked by a special event at the airport, with Judith and Alexander Immel, the 20 millionth passengers of the year, being greeted with an upgrade to Business Class with Qatar Airways, an invitation to the Open-Sky Lounge, and a duty-free voucher.

The event, which took place on a Monday but without a specified date, was attended by airport and airline staff, including Soraya Petrasch, Annamaria Bisewski (Qatar Airways), Sascha Broll (Düsseldorf Airport), and Bernhard Temme (Qatar Airways). The focus of the event was on celebrating the airport's enhanced passenger comfort and efficiency, which have been instrumental in its positive trend in passenger numbers.

Düsseldorf Airport's improved processes and punctuality have been key factors in its standing among major European airports. The airport now boasts that 95% of passengers clear security in less than 10 minutes, and it performs well across Europe in terms of punctuality. Nationally, Düsseldorf Airport ranks high among large airports for punctuality.

The airport's management sees the current passenger numbers as solidifying its role as one of Germany's leading airports and a major transport hub in the continent's largest metropolitan area. The airport and its partners have worked diligently this year to optimize procedures and enhance passenger comfort, a significant factor in its current success.

The airport's focus on passenger comfort and efficiency is a key factor in its positive trend, and it continues to strive for even greater heights in the future.

Despite thorough searches, there is no publicly available information identifying Judith and Alexander Immel, the 20-millionth passengers at Düsseldorf Airport in 2021, beyond the fact that they were flying with Qatar Airways to Koh Samui, Thailand. However, their presence at the event serves as a testament to the growing popularity and success of Düsseldorf Airport as a transport hub.

Other major European airports in the top 30 include Copenhagen, Vienna, and Brussels. As Düsseldorf Airport continues to grow and improve, it is poised to maintain its standing among these esteemed airports and solidify its role as a crucial transport hub in Europe.
