'''Cologne Bonn Airport''' ({{langx|de|Flughafen Köln/Bonn „Konrad Adenauer“}}) {{airport codes|CGN|EDDK}} is an [[international airport]] in north-western [[Germany]]. It serves the country's fourth-largest city [[Cologne]], as well as [[Bonn]], the former capital of [[West Germany]]. In 2024, more than 10 million passengers passed through Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN). It is the first time that passenger numbers have exceeded those in 2019 and hence marks a return to pre-pandemic levels. It is the [[List of the busiest airports in Germany|seventh-largest passenger airport in Germany]] and the third-largest in terms of cargo operations. By traffic units, which combines cargo and passengers, the airport is in fifth position in Germany.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.adv.aero/fileadmin/pdf/statistiken/2015/11.2015_ADV-Monatsstatistik.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=6 January 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304204205/http://www.adv.aero/fileadmin/pdf/statistiken/2015/11.2015_ADV-Monatsstatistik.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 }}</ref> As of March 2015, Cologne Bonn Airport had services to 115 passenger destinations in 35 countries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airliners.de/sommerflugplan-2015-sieben-ziele-flughafen-koeln-bonn/35295|title=Sommerflugplan 2015: Sieben neue Ziele ab Flughafen Köln/Bonn|work=airliners.de|access-date=4 June 2015}}</ref> The airport is named after Cologne native [[Konrad Adenauer]], the first post-war Chancellor of West Germany. The facility covers {{Convert|1000|hectare|lk=on}} and contains three runways.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cologne-bonn-airport.com/en/company/facts-figures-1.html|title=Cologne Bonn Airport Facts and Figures|accessdate= October 10, 2023 |last1=Gmbh |first1=Flughafen Köln/Bonn }}</ref>

The airport is located in the district of [[Porz]] and is surrounded by Wahner Heide, a [[nature reserve]]. The airport is centrally located in the [[Cologne Bonn Region]] {{convert|12|km|mi nmi|abbr=on}} southeast of the [[Innenstadt, Cologne|Cologne city centre]] and {{convert|16|km|mi nmi|abbr=on}} northeast of [[Bonn]]. Cologne Bonn Airport is one of the country's few 24-hour airports and serves as a hub for [[Eurowings]], [[FedEx Express]]<ref name="cgnfedexhub"/> and [[UPS Airlines]]<ref name="cgnupshub"/> as well as a focus city for several leisure and low-cost airlines. It is also a host of a training centre for the German ([[German Aerospace Center|DLR]]) and European ([[European Astronaut Centre|EAC]]) [[astronaut]] programmes, part of the [[European Space Agency]]. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) formerly used an Airbus A300 ZERO-G aircraft at Cologne/Bonn Airport to simulate zero gravity conditions for research. This aircraft, also known as the "Zero G", is no longer used for research flights but has been stationed at the airport since 2015 and is now an interactive museum exhibit. It can be found outside of the airport, near close to Terminal 2.

Cologne Bonn airport is only {{convert|49|km|mi nmi|abbr=on}} south of larger [[Düsseldorf Airport]], the main airport of the [[Rhine-Ruhr]] region, and also competes with [[Frankfurt Airport]], Germany's largest international airport, which can be reached from Cologne within 47 minutes by the [[Intercity Express]] high-speed train. The airport is jointly owned by the [[City of Cologne]] (31.12%), the [[Federal Republic of Germany]] (30.94%), the [[North Rhine-Westphalia|State of North Rhine-Westphalia]] (30.94%), the [[Bonn|City of Bonn]] (6.06%) and two counties: [[Rhein-Sieg-Kreis]] (0.59%) and [[Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis]] (0.35%).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.koeln-bonn-airport.de/unternehmen/unternehmensfuehrung.html |title=Unternehmensführung der Flughafen Köln/Bonn GmbH |publisher=Koeln-bonn-airport.de |access-date=23 December 2020 |last1=Gmbh |first1=Flughafen Köln/Bonn }}</ref>

==History== ===20th century=== [[File:CGN Audiologo.ogg|thumb|upright=1|The airport's sound logo]]

In 1938, the first airfield was built on site for the German [[Luftwaffe]]. After [[World War II]] the British military took over and expanded the airport (as RAF Wahn - B-119). A 1,866 m runway was built in this period.<ref name=officialhistory>[https://www.koeln-bonn-airport.de/unternehmen/geschichte.html koeln-bonn-airport.de - "History"] (German) retrieved 24 November 2022</ref>

The following squadrons used RAF Wahn: [[No. 2 Squadron RAF|2 Squadron]] between 28 June 1948 and 15 September 1949 then again between 1 July 1953 and 28 October 1955,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=23}} [[No. 4 Squadron RAF|4 Squadron]] between 13 November 1947 and 1 March 1948 then the squadron alternating with RAF Lubeck until 19 September 1949,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=24}} [[No. 11 Squadron RAF|11 Squadron]] between 15 September 1948 and 17 September 1949,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=27}} [[No. 14 Squadron RAF|14 Squadron]] between 1 April 1946 and 16 September 1949,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=28}} [[No. 17 Squadron RAF|17 Squadron]] between 1 June 1956 and 3 April 1957,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=30}} [[No. 21 Squadron RAF|21 Squadron]] between 3 and 26 September 1946,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=31}} [[No. 68 Squadron RAF|68 Squadron]] between 1 January 1952 and 22 July 1957,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=46}} [[No. 69 Squadron RAF|69 Squadron]] between 31 March 1946 and 7 November 1947,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=46}} [[No. 87 Squadron RAF|87 Squadron]] between 1 January 1952 and 2 July 1957,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=51}} [[No. 98 Squadron RAF|98 Squadron]] between 15 March 1946 and 19 September 1949,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=53}} [[No. 107 Squadron RAF|107 Squadron]] between 3 September 1946 and 15 September 1948,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=55}} [[No. 128 Squadron RAF|128 Squadron]] between 11 and 31 March 1946,{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=59}} [[No. 180 Squadron RAF|180 Squadron]] between 8 and 31 March 1946 &{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=65}} [[No. 305 Squadron RAF|305 Squadron]] between 11 March and 15 October 1946.{{sfn|Jefford|1988|p=85}}

In 1950 the airport was opened for civilian air traffic to serve both Cologne and [[West Germany]]'s then new capital, [[Bonn]], superseding the former [[Cologne Butzweilerhof Airport]].<ref name=officialhistory/>

The first scheduled international route was London-Cologne/Bonn-Berlin operated by [[British European Airways|BEA]], inaugurated on 1 January 1951.<ref name=officialhistory/> A second and third runway was opened in 1954 and 1961 subsequently. That same year [[Lufthansa]] inaugurated the first scheduled intercontinental service from Cologne/Bonn to [[New York City]].<ref name=officialhistory/>

The new passenger terminal, which still exists today as Terminal 1, was inaugurated in 1970. The airport's passenger and freight facilities have been extended substantially during the 1970s.<ref name=officialhistory/> In 1978, the airport handled more than 2 million passengers for the first time.<ref name=officialhistory/> Cologne Bonn Airport was chosen by [[United Parcel Service]] (UPS) in 1986 as the location for their European hub.<ref>[https://www.ksta.de/redaktion/ups-standort-koeln-bonn-des-nachts-in-alle-welt-275028?cb=1669291000099 ksta.de - "UPS base Cologne - over night in the entire world"] (German) 13 March 2010</ref> [[TNT Express]] followed in 1988.<ref name=officialhistory/>

By 1990, the airport handled three million passengers per year.<ref name=officialhistory/> In the mid-1990s the airport started another major expansion program. Several new parking lots, a new control tower and a second terminal were built, and in 2004 a new long-distance railway station connecting the airport with [[InterCityExpress]] trains was opened.<ref name=officialhistory/>

===Cultural significance=== The airport's design and atmosphere have also influenced popular culture. In 1977, musician [[Brian Eno]] was inspired by the architecture and ambiance of Cologne Bonn Airport while waiting for a flight. He later described it as "a very beautiful building [...] The light was beautiful, everything was beautiful, except they were playing awful music."<ref>Faber, Michel (2023). ''Listen: On Music, Sound and Us''. Canongate Books. {{ISBN|9781838858414}}.</ref> This experience led him to create his groundbreaking 1978 ambient music album "[[Ambient 1: Music for Airports|Music for Airports]]" which was designed to "induce calm and a space to think" in airport environments.<ref>Brabazon, Tara (2011). ''Popular Music: Topics, Trends & Trajectories''. SAGE Publications. p. 49. {{ISBN|9781847874368}}.</ref> Eno sought to create background music that, unlike the "lightweight" music typically played in such spaces, would complement the architectural aesthetics of modern airports like Cologne Bonn.

===Developments since the 2000s=== Coinciding with the start of several [[Low-cost carrier|low-cost airlines]] in Germany, Cologne/Bonn opened new capacities. This enabled the airport to make competitive offers to the airlines. Consequently, [[Germanwings]] and [[TUIfly]] started operations from Cologne/Bonn as their hub in the fall of 2002. As a result, the number of passengers in 2003 rose by 43% compared to 2002. These airlines were joined by [[easyJet]] in late 2003 and [[Wizz Air]] in June 2006.

Also, the [[Canadian Forces]] began to use the airport as a staging area to move troops and supplies in support of humanitarian missions and possible anti-terrorism roles.<ref>{{Cite news|author=Steven Chase |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/mackay-secures-german-staging-base-for-post-afghan-missions/article545826/ |title=MacKay secures German staging base for post-Afghan missions |work=The Globe and Mail|access-date=21 February 2014}}</ref>

In 2006, the Brazilian airline BRA provided a twice a week connection to [[Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport|Rio de Janeiro–Galeão]], which was discontinued in April 2007 due to problems with the airline. Also in 2006, a daily [[transatlantic flight]] to [[New Jersey]]'s [[Newark Liberty International Airport]] by [[Continental Airlines]] was established, operating with a Boeing 757-200. This route was discontinued on 4 September 2008 due to a reduction in passenger numbers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.continental.com/web/en-US/apps/vendors/default.aspx?SID=D0C4EA1C612941F7899350B57EA0BC99&i=PRNEWS|archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20091116221222/http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/apps/vendors/default.aspx?i=PRNEWS|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 November 2009|title=United Airlines – Airline Tickets, Travel Deals and Flights|website=www.continental.com|access-date=4 May 2017}}</ref>

Low-cost carriers [[Ryanair]] and [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] began service to Cologne/Bonn in May 2012. In April 2014, Ryanair announced the opening of their fifth German base at Cologne/Bonn Airport for October 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airliners.de/ryanair-eroeffnet-zum-winter-basis-am-flughafen-koeln-bonn/32129|title=Ryanair eröffnet zum Winter Basis am Flughafen Köln-Bonn|work=airliners.de|access-date=4 June 2015}}</ref> In December 2014, [[Lufthansa]] announced it would base [[Eurowings]]' new long-haul operations at Cologne Bonn Airport with flights to [[Florida]], [[Southern Africa]] and the [[Indian Ocean]] to start by the end of 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/245868/eurowings-to-launch-long-haul-from-cologne-under-lufthansa-wings-project/|title=Eurowings to Launch Long-Haul from Cologne under Lufthansa 'Wings' Project|author=UBM Information Ltd. 2015|date=3 December 2014|work=Routesonline|access-date=4 June 2015}}</ref> Meanwhile, [[Condor Flugdienst|Condor]] cancelled their service to [[Varadero]] after only one season due to the expected competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aerotelegraph.com/flughafen-koeln-bonn-kampf-um-passagiere-ryanair-germanwings-eurowings-condor|title=Billigflüge: Köln im Zentrum der Schlacht – aeroTELEGRAPH|work=aeroTELEGRAPH|date=14 March 2015}}</ref> In February 2018, [[Eurowings]] announced the relocation of all long-haul operations from Cologne consisting of four [[Airbus A330]] aircraft to [[Düsseldorf Airport]] by late October 2018 leaving the airport without any long-haul passenger routes again.<ref>[http://www.aero.de/news-28497/Eurowings-verlegt-Langstrecken-nach-Duesseldorf.html aero.de – "Eurowings moves A330 from Cologne to Düsseldorf"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614144144/https://www.aero.de/news-28497/Eurowings-verlegt-Langstrecken-nach-Duesseldorf.html |date=14 June 2018 }} (German) 1 February 2018</ref> In 2024, [[Wizz Air]] announced it would terminate all routes from Cologne/Bonn, which it had served for ten years.<ref>[https://www.aerotelegraph.com/wizz-air-kehrt-dem-flughafen-koeln-bonn-den-ruecken aerotelegraph.com] (German) 6 September 2024</ref>

===Terminal 1=== The older Terminal 1 is a 1970s building that sports large surfaces of bare concrete in its design. It features a u-shaped main building with shops, restaurants, check-in and service facilities and a visitors deck on its roof as well as the star-shaped piers B and C with five aircraft stands each plus a central airside hall between them added in 2004 with joint security-check facilities, more shops and restaurants as well as three additional stands. All ten stands at both piers feature [[jet bridge]]s while the other three use walk-boarding. Also several bus-boarding stands are available at the apron. Terminal 1 is used by [[Eurowings]], which occupy most of the landside check-in facilities, [[Lufthansa]] and [[Austrian Airlines]].<ref name="airportmap">{{cite news |url=http://www.koeln-bonn-airport.de/am-airport/wegweiser.html |title=Orientierung am Airport, Wegweiser Köln Bonn Airport |publisher=Koeln-bonn-airport.de |access-date=21 February 2014 |last1=Gmbh |first1=Flughafen Köln/Bonn }}</ref> Terminal 1 features its own direct connection to the railway station.

===Terminal 2=== Construction of Terminal 2 began in June 1997, and operations at the terminal commenced on 21 June 2000. It is located to the north of Terminal 1. Both feature separate check-in facilities but are connected through a landside walkway. Terminal 2 is a modern-style rectangular building made out of glass and steel which is equipped with eight stands with jet bridges as well as several stands for bus-boarding. It is used by several airlines such as [[Ryanair]].<ref name="airportmap"/> Terminal 2 is also directly connected to the airports' railway station via the basement level. The terminal hosts an interdenominational prayer room on its base level.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://architizer.com/projects/prayer-room-airport-cologne-bonn/|title=Prayer Room Airport Cologne / Bonn|website=Architizer|date=28 May 2014|access-date=4 May 2017}}</ref>

==Ground transportation== ===Train=== [[File:Bahnhof_Flughafen_Köln-Bonn.jpg|thumb|upright=1|The platforms at [[Cologne/Bonn Airport station]]]]

[[Cologne/Bonn Airport station]] is a four-track railway station on a [[Cologne Airport Loop|loop]] off the [[Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed rail line|Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed line]] that connects Cologne Bonn Airport to long-distance trains at least once an hour per direction, most of them [[Intercity-Express|ICE]] services. The station lies directly across both terminals under a large glass roof and features direct connections to the basement of Terminal 2 as well as the check-in area at Terminal 1-C. The [[S-Bahn]] line ''S 19'' to [[Düren]] and regional train line ''[[List of regional railway lines in North Rhine-Westphalia#Lines 1–9|RE 6]]'' to [[Minden (Westfalen) station|Minden (Westfalen)]] connects the airport station with via [[Köln Hauptbahnhof|Cologne Main Station]].

===Car=== The airport has its own exit (named ''Flughafen'') on [[Bundesautobahn 59|motorway A59]] which links it to the city centres of Cologne and Bonn as well as the [[Ruhrgebiet]].<ref name="transport">{{cite news|url=http://www.koeln-bonn-airport.de/parken-anreise/anreise-mit-dem-pkw.html|title=Anreise mit dem PKW|access-date=4 June 2015 |last1=Gmbh |first1=Flughafen Köln/Bonn }}</ref>

===Bus=== Local bus lines also connect the airport with Cologne (route ''161'') and Bonn (route ''SB60'').<ref name="transport"/> On 28 October 2015, a new coach terminal opened and is used for remote bus services to other German cities and many other European countries.

==Accidents and incidents==

* On April 4, 1978, a [[Spantax]] [[Convair 990 Coronado|Convair 990]] landing at Cologne Bonn Airport forgot to pull out the landing gear and the aircraft slid over the runway, resulting in the right wing catching fire. Two fire-fighting vehicles from the airport fire service that happened to be in the immediate vicinity probably prevented casualties in this accident. All 146 people on board escaped unharmed.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1978-04-09 |title=Uralter Hase |language=de |work=Der Spiegel |url=https://www.spiegel.de/politik/uralter-hase-a-1d16bd6c-0002-0001-0000-000040617670 |access-date=2023-03-11 |issn=2195-1349}}</ref> * On June 7, 1993, a [[Learjet 35]]A operated by Aero-Dienst crashed following a left engine failure at or near V2. The aircraft rolled to the left, contacted the ground beside the runway, levelled off, took off again and rolled left and inverted and impacted the ground. All four occupants were killed. Cause undetermined.<ref>{{ASN accident|id=19930607-0|title=D-COCO|accessdate= September 19, 2023}}</ref>
