Air traffic in the Rhine-Ruhr region is concentrated at the Düsseldorf International Airport.
77 separate airlines (above all Air Berlin and Lufthansa) fly to 180 destinations in 50 countries worldwide.
Not only does it offer a dense European network, but the airport is gaining in importance as a hub for international connections as well, especially to North America and Asia.

With 17.8 millionen passengers a year (2009), Düsseldorf has the third-highest passenger revenue in Germany.

One of the airport´s plus points is its central location in north Düsseldorf and its good connection to the autobahn (A44) and local public transportation.
For example, Düsseldorf has three airport train stations with ICE connections and the Skytrain cableway as a link to terminals.

Nearby, in the Unterrath district, a modern business park known as Airport City has grown up on an old barracks site since 2003.
A Maritim Kongresshotel and Germany´s largest Porsche dealership are located there. The area is due to be completely developed by 2013.
