    Building the Future

    Frankfurt Airport is expanding. Terminal 3 is Europe’s largest airport infrastructure project and is currently in the final stage of construction. But much will also be happening in Terminals 1 and 2 over the coming years in order to live up to the motto ‘building the future’. That is because Frankfurt Airport wants to remain what it is: the world’s best-connected air transport hub and a highly attractive location for airlines.

    Central areas of Terminal 1 will be completely redesigned in the coming years. As part of "Transforming Terminal 1", the most modern check-in counters and security checkpoints will be installed and ensure fast processes. This will make travel from FRA even faster and more convenient.

    When the new Terminal 3 opens, Terminal 2 - which went into operation in 1994 and has, to date, mainly hosted airlines from the Oneworld and SkyTeam alliances - will be totally renovated and modernised. According to current planning, this will take around three years.
