Hamburg Airport (IATA: HAM, ICAO: EDDH) (German: Flughafen Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel) is the international airport of Hamburg, Germany.
It originally covered 440,000 square metres. Since then, the site has grown more than tenfold to 5.7 square kilometres. The main apron covers 320,000 square meters. The Airport is 8.5 km north-west of the centre of the City of Hamburg.
The Airport was opened in 1911. In the 1970s, there were discussions of moving Hamburg airport northward to a site near Kaltenkirchen. This plan was subsequently abandoned, and the airport is completing a major modernization that includes new terminal buildings, new roadside access and a connection to Hamburg's rapid transit system (S-Bahn).
Hamburg Airport (measured by the number of passengers) is the fifth biggest of the 16 German commercial airports (on a level with Tegel International Airport in Berlin).
The shareholders of Hamburg Airport are the City of Hamburg (51% and Hochtief AirPort GmbH. (49%).
