Drop-off and pick-up

We ask you to wait in front of the terminal, as the maximum number of people in the terminal is currently limited due to the Corona Protection Ordinance.

Rules of conduct in the terminal

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.

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.
