History
The 227 hectare airport went into operation in 1971. The driving force here was the development of the region’s business location. An essential component for this is an efficient airport infrastructure. An airport management company was founded in 1969 at the instigation of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The runway was first extended in 1984. In the 1990s, the airport terminal buildings were built, which were restructured again in 2002 to enable seamless baggage control.
At the beginning of 2009, the Münster district government approved the expansion of the airport. In addition to extending the runway, these expansion measures also include extending the apron area.
