Düsseldorf Airport gets ready for the 2023 travel season

Renovation work in terminal and duty-free area / security checkpoint and self-bag drop machines

Düsseldorf Airport is taking advantage of the lower-traffic period outside the travel season to carry out extensive modernization and conversion work. The work, which will begin this week, is to take place without any operational restrictions or limitations for passengers and is to be completed by the summer vacations.

In Terminal Area A, access to the gate after security screening will be widened and operational use of the screening lane at the gate entrance will be improved. The lane in question will be closed for the duration of the work. The security checks in the other four control lanes in front of Pier A will not be affected by the reconstruction work.

In Terminal Section C, installation work has begun on the spatial expansion of the sensor system, which will cover a larger area in front of the security checkpoints. This will enable more accurate forecasts of waiting times, improving processes and staff deployment.

Ten self-bag drop machines are also to be installed in terminal area A. Check-in counters 101 to 120 will be taken out of service as part of the installation work. By the start of the summer vacation period, passengers will have access to ten staffed check-in counters and ten self-bag drop counters with upstream machines for printing baggage labels. This will make checking in baggage faster and more convenient.

The duty-free area will also be redesigned after the new operator Heinemann takes over the total of four stores in all three gates A, B and C..
