Frankfurt Airport, marking its centenary, has evolved from early zeppelin flights to a bustling international hub, handling nearly 40,000 flights monthly. The airport’s history includes the critical Berlin Airlift, significant expansion efforts, and contentious protests over its expansion, particularly the controversial West Runway. Despite challenges like the Eyjafjallajökull eruption and the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport has continually adapted, with plans for a new Terminal 3 set to open in 2026. Today, it remains a vital component of both the local economy and international travel.
