Findel is Luxembourg's only commercial airport. Located a few miles outside the centre of Luxembourg City, it is an important hub for continental flights as well as international cargo transportation and storage. Did you know for example that the world's leading all-cargo airline, Cargolux, is based in Luxembourg? Located next to the airport’s cargo centre, Le FREEPORT Luxembourg is a multi-service platform dedicated to the storage, handling and trading of valuable goods (e.g. artworks, fine wines, precious metals and collectible items). 

Luxembourg-Findel - a modern airport

For many years, an increase in air traffic was recorded in terms of general aviation at Luxembourg Airport. And for good reason: the Grand Duchy's only terminal lies in the very heart of the Greater Region and is very popular with both residents and users from neighbouring countries. With a number of passengers that has kept rising each year, Luxembourg's international airport - commonly referred to as Findel - is in full expansion. No less than 4.04 million passengers used the Findel's air lanes in 2018, against 3.5 million in 2017 and 3.02 million in 2016. Inaugurated in 2008, the new terminal is very modern and the new 450 m2 structure welcomes customers and their crews in an optimal environment with top-of-the-range services.

A entails B...

Terminal B only accommodates small aircraft from or to the Schengen area. These flights  represent 55 to 65% of Findel airport's total air traffic, and around 40% of them travel through the B terminal.

The 'small aircraft' terminal was developed in the form of a satellite, and can be accessed through the A terminal. Once passengers and their luggage have been checked in the A terminal, and after boarding pass control, they go to the B terminal through a moving walkway that is 108m long, offering an interesting view of what is happening on the airport tarmac.

Overall, the B terminal  has 10 gates  for departures and 6 for arrivals. It features 246 waiting seats.

Luxembourg's airport Findel was completely rebuilt in 2008.
