Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about a range of subjects:
Entry from high-risk areas (areas where mutations of the virus have occurred or with particularly high incidences):
A negative test certificate must be presented at the time of entry and must be submitted to the responsible health authorities without delay. In addition, those entering the country must immediately move into a 10-day quarantine.
The classification and publication of risk areas is published by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) at www.rki.de/covid-19-risikogebiete.
Corona tests prepared before entry must meet the criteria listed by the RKI at www.rki.de/covid-19-tests.
A new Corona test centre will be set up at Dortmund Airport. The provider MEDICARE will offer chargeable tests on the arrivals level (level 0) in the terminal of Dortmund Airport from 01.01.2021. The results will be available after just 15 to 30 minutes and will be transmitted via QR code or email.
In order to protect yourself and others from infection and not to spread pathogens, it is recommended above all to observe a few hygiene measures. Especially the distance of 1.50 meters between each other should always be kept. Appropriate floor markings and barrier tape are therefore installed at the information stand, check-in counters and security checks.
Please note that the number of available seats at the gates has been temporarily reduced due to the given distancing regulations. We apologize for this circumstance.

Well prepared
Dortmund Airport is in close contact with the health department of the city of Dortmund and the other authorities. Like all German airports, it is well prepared to deal with suspected Coronavirus cases with preventive measures and emergency plans. There is no direct air traffic between Dortmund and the main outbreak areas.
Detour in the event of a suspected case on board
Should there be a suspected case on board a passenger aircraft, it would not land in Dortmund, but would be redirected to one of the 5 German airports (Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin) that are provided and equipped for this in accordance with international health regulations.
If you are concerned that you have been infected with the new type of Coronavirus and are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath, we do not recommend commencing the planned trip. Keep calm and follow the guidelines of the Robert Koch Institute.
