Hamburg's dedicated Airbus production and delivery airport.
Opened
1935
Location
Hamburg, Germany
Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport (XFW/EDHI) is a private industrial airfield located on the southern bank of the Elbe River in the Finkenwerder district of Hamburg, Germany. It serves primarily as the final assembly and delivery hub for Airbus commercial aircraft, particularly the A320 family, and is not open to scheduled commercial passenger traffic.
The airport has deep roots in German aviation history, having been used for aircraft manufacturing since the 1930s. Today it is operated by Airbus and handles test flights, delivery flights, and ferry flights for newly completed aircraft destined for airlines worldwide.
Because of its industrial purpose, Hamburg-Finkenwerder has a single runway that accommodates the full range of Airbus narrowbody and widebody aircraft. Access to the facility is restricted, and it does not offer public passenger services or commercial terminal operations.
