What is Sunflower?

A sunflower for more understanding

Around one in six people lives with a disability. A busy environment like an airport can quickly become a challenge for these people.

To make the stay more relaxed for everyone, Stuttgart Airport has been part of the international Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program since April 2025. The sunflower is a global symbol for the fact that a person has an invisible impairment - without having to talk about it or explain themselves.

This creates more understanding - and therefore a little more consideration in the hustle and bustle of everyday travel.

How is Sunflower implemented at STR?

Our service is aimed at people with non-visible impairments and comes into play at times when more time or support is needed. The aim is to enable more consideration and create an environment in which everyone feels safe and understood.

We also set a visible sign for inclusion at Stuttgart Airport: the green Sunflower ribbon with the sunflower symbol is available in several places - at the passenger information desk in Terminal 3 on the departures level, at SAG Boarding Support and at the airport security desk in Terminal 1 West on the departures level. On request, our staff will hand out the tape free of charge and without further questions.

Our teams are trained to recognize the Sunflower symbol - also in the form of wristbands or badges, which are available on the official Sunflower website. Those who wear them can count on our understanding and support.
