Are there two airports in Hamburg?

There are 2 airports in Hamburg. (These include Hamburg, Hamburg Finkenwerder.)



No, Hamburg, Germany, is primarily served by only one major international commercial airport: Hamburg Airport (HAM), also known as Flughafen Hamburg. It is located about 8 kilometers north of the city center and is one of the oldest and most efficient airports in Europe. However, there is a second significant airfield nearby called Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport (XFW). This is a private airport owned and operated by Airbus. While it has a massive runway and sees frequent flight activity—including the "Beluga" transport planes and newly manufactured A321 aircraft—it is not open to the general public for commercial flights. Unless you are an Airbus employee or on a specific corporate charter, you will not be flying into or out of Finkenwerder. Travelers should not confuse this with the "Hamburg-Lübeck" airport, which is located about 70 kilometers away in the city of Lübeck and occasionally serves low-cost carriers, though its commercial traffic has fluctuated greatly over the years. For almost all travelers visiting the "Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg" in 2026, Hamburg Airport (HAM) is the sole gateway.
