Hahn Airport experienced a notable rise in air freight, handling around 22,000 tonnes in Q1 2025, an 8% increase from the previous year. Additionally, passenger numbers exceeded 440,000, reflecting over 30% growth, attributed to enhanced airline services and a 24-hour operating permit. Managing Director Rüdiger Franke highlighted the positive start to 2025 but noted concerns about geopolitical uncertainties impacting cargo operations. The airport is also progressing in digitalization, implementing self-drop-off terminals to minimize check-in and waiting times.
