Stuttgart Airport at a glance

For over 100 years, Stuttgart Airport has been connecting people, Baden-Württemberg and the world.

The airport plays an important role in intercultural exchange, economic cooperation across national borders and connecting people with family and friends. From the first take-offs at Cannstatter Wasen, to operations at Böblingen Airfield from 1924 onwards, to the international commercial airport at Fildern: the desire to travel and the tasks at the airport have remained the same – only the aircraft, handling and terminals have changed over time.

Good to know: Stuttgart Airport’s European-oriented route network offers direct connections to the continent's most important hubs – and to many other destinations beyond.

The airport with the three-letter code STR is centrally located in Baden-Württemberg – in the districts of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Filderstadt, Ostfildern, Neuhausen and Stuttgart. More than 19 million people live in the entire catchment area.
