Book a Private Jet to Hamburg Airport

Hamburg Airport is the fifth largest in Germany, and, at a distance of 8 kilometres from the city centre, one of the most central airports in Germany. Two runways are available for domestic, international, and charter flights to and from Hamburg. A full complement of VIP services is available for private jet passengers.

Hamburg Airport (HAM)

Opened in 1911, Hamburg Airport is the oldest German airport still in operation. After its initial construction, the airport primarily handled airships. Originally, the airport was divided into two distinct sections for different types of air traffic. The northern part of Hamburg Airport was reserved for airships, and the south-eastern part for airplanes. The airport played an important role during the Berlin Airlift. It was the only civilian airport on German soil involved in the airlift, and served as a hub for British charter companies delivering supplies to Berlin. In 2016, the airport was christened "Helmut Schmidt" Airport, in honour of the former Federal Chancellor and Hamburg native.
