trend towards regional airports

The popularity of regional airports has increased in recent years. However, Memmingen Airport is classified as unpopular, with an assessment of only 3.5 stars. The last place that Frankfurt-Hahn Airport took with only 2.8 stars was particularly surprising.

Airplanes are still the second most popular means of transport for vacation trips in Germany, right after the car. These statistics come from the TUI airport report, which analyzed Google reviews and other data.

punctuality and connection

Another aspect that is important for travelers is punctuality. In European comparison, Stuttgart Airport reaches the top position with a punctuality of 84.2 %. Follow Dublin Airport and the airports in Malta and Rome. Liquid processes and timely flights are of great importance for travelers, with 51 % of the delays on the airlines and 6 % due to weather conditions.

In addition to punctuality, the connection of the airports is another important factor. Frankfurt am Main Airport offers the most direct connections with 296 destinations worldwide. The airports in Düsseldorf (7 minutes), Leipzig (11 minutes) and Frankfurt (12 minutes) have the fastest connection to the main train station. With regard to taxi prices, it turns out that Bremen has the cheapest offers, while the most expensive trip from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport to Koblenz main station costs 150.80 euros.

Overall, the analysis shows that both popularity and punctuality and the connection to the city center are decisive factors for the choice of airport.
