History of Dresden (DRS) Airport

Dresden International Airport first opened its doors in 1935 and is operated by Dresden Airport GmbH. Since its beginnings, the airport was divided into both military and civilian sections. During the Second World War, the airport was mostly used for military purposes. It wasn’t until the middle of the 50s that the airport was renovated to accommodate increased civil air traffic; they began with expanding the airport building, the runway, and the parking facilities. The glass "Skywalk" connects the airport to the parking garage, making it easier and more comfortable for passengers to get to and from their private jet at Dresden Airport in a sheltered and warm walkway.

It is possible to catch both domestic and international commercial, as well as charter flights from Dresden. With over 3,000 staff, passengers can rest assured that they can pass through the airport as swiftly as they like – with speedy aircraft checks, efficient passenger handling and well-organised security control.
