ABOUT THIS EVENT

This fun and family-friendly tour puts a spotlight on passengers and airport traffic. If you have always wanted to sneak a peek behind the scenes at Stuttgart Airport and find out how it operates, this tour is for you!

  • A short informational film about the airport
  • A tour around the apron (pre-runway) and airplane ground handling areas
  • Information about take-offs and landings
  • A visit to the airport fire brigade
  • A tour of the baggage handling area

The tour lasts about two hours, including security check. It begins and ends in the visitor centre “SkyLand in Terminal 3.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LOCATION

During the tour, we will be in the security area of the airport. No weapons or sharp objects, such as pocket knives or scissors, may be taken along. Due to the statutory restrictions on liquids (beverages, cosmetics, perfumes, and so on), these items will also not be allowed once we pass the security check. These items will be stored for us and given back at the end of the tour.

We are welcome to take pictures and videos during the tour for private use, with the exception of the security check and the baggage handling system. Manually operated wheelchairs can be taken along. Electric wheelchairs unfortunately cannot be used on this tour.

Parents with children: There are no age restrictions for children accompanied by their parents. If babies or children are present, the accompanying adults are responsible for their supervision and for ensuring that the children follow the guide’s instructions for safety reasons.
