History of Stuttgart Airport
The airport was built in 1939 to replace Böblingen Airport. In 1945, the United States Army took over the airport until it was returned to the German authorities in 1948. During the Cold War, the runway and facilities were shared with the United States Army. After the German government took over the port in 1948, it was opened to civil air traffic.
The airport was transferred to the German government after the World War II, and renovation and runway expansion works were started at the aerodrome. In 1959, it was decided to extend the runway for the second time, and the runway, which was extended to 2.250 meters, became ready for use after approximately 2 years of construction work.
In 1991, the new Terminal 1 was opened after a five-year construction period. The following year, the architectural office that designed the passenger hall received the German Steel Construction Award for it. In 1996, the new runway, extended to 3.345 meters, was put into service, enabling Stuttgart Airport to handle larger and heavier aircraft.
The Lufthansa hall, which was converted into Terminal 4, was opened in 2000, and then Terminal 3 building was put into service in 2004. In 2007, as part of the expansion and modernization of the port, the trade fair centre, the Bosch multi-storey car park and the Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart Airport were opened.
The new tank farm east of the apron became operational in 2009. The three tanks, which are over 13 meters high, hold a total of 4.500 m³ of fuel, 2,5 times more than the previous tank in the west.
Port authorities, who turned the pandemic into an opportunity in 2020, carried out maintenance on the port runways and completed it in a short time, allowing the port to be reused.
