History
Before the construction of today’s Hanover-Langenhagen Airport, there was already an airport north of Hanover. This was Vahrenwald Airport. However, when this could not be expanded because of its location, the decision was made to build a new airport.
Although opened on April 26th, 1952, the two passenger terminals A and B of the airport, which are still in use today, were not completed until 1973. The third and largest Terminal C was handed over in 1998. Just in time for the Expo 2000 world exhibition, the underground S-Bahn station was put into operation, which provides a connection between the airport and the main train station and the cities of Hameln, Bad Pyrmont and Paderborn. There is also a connection to the Hanover exhibition center for major trade fairs.
