An increasing number of passengers have been choosing air travel in Germany. However, figures decreased noticeably in 2020, the year of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Lufthansa
Air travel has become more widespread due to a larger choice of airlines and offers, as well as the rapid expansion and convenience of online travel bookings. Based on the number of departures taking place in Germany, Lufthansa soared ahead of all airlines, followed by its subsidiary Eurowings. At the same time, the majority of passengers never booked flights with Lufthansa.
Frankfurt/ Main leading passenger airport
While most trips in and from Germany are made by car or caravan, air travel is also very popular. Frankfurt/ Main airport saw the most passengers in 2020, followed by Munich and Dusseldorf.
