Düsseldorf Airport: Terrace visitor meeting point open for a short time!

The anticipation is palpable: the visitor terrace at Düsseldorf Airport will be reopened for two weekends in August 2025. The seats are in great demand because the adventure world in the sky offers unique views of aircraft taking off and landing. Again Giessener Anzeiger reports, Düsseldorf residents will have the opportunity to use the terrace on August 16th, 17th, 23rd and 24th, with up to 500 people being admitted in three time slots (10 a.m. - 12 p.m., 12:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m., 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.).

The terrace, which has been closed since 2020 due to the corona pandemic, has not been reopened for cost reasons. Now it is returning and also offers creative activities for the little ones indoors: games and painting activities are planned there, which is particularly appealing to families. The terrace used to attract 70,000 to 80,000 visitors annually, while the platform at Pier B attracted as many as 280,000 people. The tickets currently remain free, but are already fully booked. Anyone on the waiting list should keep an eye on the events.dus.com/terrasse website to check for possible cancellations.

A token of appreciation

Lars Redeligx, the CEO of Flughafen Düsseldorf GmbH, emphasizes that the opening of the terrace is also a thank you to the patience of the airport fans. The airport itself bears the financial burden of the security measures and the entire organization. So that visitors can do something good, the airport invites them to donate the entry fee saved to the Düsseldorf Community Foundation and its “Düsseldorf sets an example” campaign, as on the airport's homepage dus.com is to be read.

However, the challenge remains the security area: Since the terrace is in the aviation security area, additional security checks are necessary. Current developments at airports are relevant here. In Germany there are ongoing efforts to modernize security controls and make them more efficient. The latest systems are intended not only to increase security, but also to reduce waiting times, such as the new control systems at Munich Airport, which enable passengers to be checked more quickly security.info confirmed.

Looking into the future

Airport director Redeligx announced that they are working towards an economically viable concept for the permanent opening of the terrace at Gate B. The 2045 master plan shows further developments at the airport. The goal is to make the fascination of flying tangible while at the same time ensuring the safety of guests.

For many, the airport is more than just a transport hub; it is a place of encounter and amazement. With the reopening of the visitor terrace, this experience will be revitalized. So, if you have the opportunity, plan to spend one of the coming weekends in Düsseldorf to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of aviation!
