A tri-modal airport that connects rail, road and air traffic


Leipzig/Halle is one of Europe’s most modern airports that distinguishes itself with a high-performance infrastructure and an exemplary connection of rail, road and air.


Leipzig/Halle Airport has a parallel runway system allowing simultaneous take-offs and landings on the two 3,600-metre- long runways.


In combination with the airport’s location factors such as its ideal geographical conditions for traffic in the centre of Europe, direct access of the passenger and cargo areas to the trans-European motorway and rail network as well as 24- hour air cargo operation, the airport offers ideal parameters for companies in the air transport and logistics sector.


Cargo route network : Leipzig/Halle Airport, a cargo hub for goods from all over the world


A total of 56 cargo airports in 33 countries on four continents, including destinations such as New York, Cincinnati, Hong Kong, Delhi, Singapore, Seoul and Lagos, are served from Leipzig/Halle. Not included in the above figures are those AN-124 flights, which Volga-Dnepr and Antonov Design Bureau operate from Leipzig/Halle, as well as cargo charter flights.


More than 663,000 tonnes of cargo were handled at Leipzig/Halle in 2010. The airport climbed up to second place in Germany and has thus been able to reinforce its position among the top ten cargo airports in Europe.


Leipzig/Halle is DHL’s European hub and home base for AeroLogic


Since 2008 around 50 DHL cargo aircraft have been using Leipzig/Halle Airport per night and handle up to 2,000 tonnes of cargo each night.


Since 2009 Leipzig/Halle Airport is also the home base for


Leipzig/Halle Europe's D


AeroLogic. The AeroLogic fleet includes eight Boeing 777F's.


The establishment of the cargo airline by DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo will boost Leipzig/Halle’s position as the most important logistics location in the region. AeroLogic will further increase the airfreight and express business to and from Asia, the Middle East and North America.


Cargo Area South : Ideal conditions for investors from the aviation and logistics sectors


Beside the grounds used by DHL, Leipzig/Halle Airport has further areas for air transport and related companies to locate. A 12-hectare apron directly connected to the cargo area was put into operation in June 2006 and provides enough space for up to six large cargo aircraft such as the Antonov 124 or Airbus 380. The cargo apron is connected to the runways via separate taxiways.


In addition, a developed, not built-up area directly connected to a four-lane trunk road as well as to the motorway network offers ideal development possibilities for potential investors.
