'''Luxembourg Airport''' {{Airport codes|LUX|ELLX}} serves as the principal airport of [[Luxembourg]] and the sole [[international airport]] within the country. Formerly known as '''Luxembourg Findel Airport''' (French: Aéroport de Luxembourg-Findel) due to its location in the [[Findel, Luxembourg|Findel]] area, it remains the only airport in Luxembourg equipped with a paved runway. The airport is approximately 3.25 nautical miles (6.02 km; 3.74 mi) to the east of [[Luxembourg City]].

In 2024, Luxembourg Airport accommodated over five million passengers. Additionally, it is recognized as a major cargo hub, ranking as the fifth-busiest airport in Europe by cargo tonnage and ranking the [[List of busiest airports by cargo traffic|28th-busiest globally]] in 2010. Both [[Luxair]], the national flag carrier, and [[Cargolux]], a leading cargo airline, maintain their headquarters on the airport premises.

==History==
===Foundation and early years===
The airport was originally known as "Sandweiler Airport", and was opened in the 1930s as a small grass airfield with a relatively short, {{convert|3400|ft|abbr=on}} runway.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}}

Neutral Luxembourg was invaded by Germany on 10 May 1940, and on 21 May the [[Luftwaffe]] assigned [[Jagdgeschwader 53]] (JG 53), a [[Messerschmitt Bf 109]] fighter unit, to the airport. JG 53 was engaged in combat against the French and British Expeditionary Force in [[France]] during the [[Battle of France]] in May and June. In addition, [[Jagdgeschwader 52]] (JG 52) operated Bf 109s from Sandweiler during the [[Blitzkrieg]]. JG 52 moved into France on 29 May but JG 53 remained in Luxembourg until 18 August when it moved closer to the [[English Channel]] to take part in the [[Battle of Britain]].<ref name="vit1">{{cite web |url=http://www.ww2.dk |title=The Luftwaffe, 1933-45 |website=Ww2.dk |access-date=1 June 2015}}</ref>

Sandweiler Airport then remained unused by the Luftwaffe until September 1944, when [[Aufklärungsgruppe 123|''Aufklärungsgruppe'' 123]] (AKG 123), a reconnaissance unit which flew the [[Henschel Hs 126]], a two-seat reconnaissance and observation aircraft, was assigned to the airport. AKG 123 moved east into Germany after only a few days when the United States Army moved through Luxembourg and cleared the country of the occupying German forces.<ref name="vit1"/>

United States Army combat engineers arrived at Sandweiler in mid September 1944 and performed some minor reconstruction to prepare the airfield for [[Ninth Air Force]] combat aircraft. The airfield was designated as [[Advanced Landing Ground]] "A-97" Sandweiler and was opened on 18 September 1944. The [[Ninth Air Force]] [[363d Tactical Reconnaissance Group]] operated a variety of photo-reconnaissance aircraft until 29 October 1944 when they also moved east into Germany.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ixengineercommand.com/airfields/physical.php |title=IX Engineer Command |website=Ixengineercommand.com |access-date=1 June 2015 |archive-date=9 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190609090806/http://www.ixengineercommand.com/airfields/physical.php |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>Maurer, Maurer. Air Force Combat Units of World War II. Maxwell AFB, Alabama: Office of Air Force History, 1983. {{ISBN|0-89201-092-4}}.</ref>

Sandweiler Airport was used by the Americans for the rest of the war as a transport supply airfield and also to evacuate combat casualties to the UK. It was returned to Luxembourgish control on 15 August 1945.<ref>Johnson, David C. (1988), U.S. Army Air Forces Continental Airfields (ETO), D-Day to V-E Day; Research Division, USAF Historical Research Center, Maxwell AFB, Alabama.</ref>

===1950-1999===
In March 1999, [[Luxair]] launched direct flights to [[Newark Liberty International Airport|Newark]] using a [[Boeing 767]],<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.flightglobal.com/routes/25656.article | title=Routes | work=Flight International | date=30 March 1999 | accessdate=14 April 2022 | url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/99338537/the-vancouver-sun/ | title=Luxembourg: A world apart | work=The Vancouver Sun | date=26 June 1999 | accessdate=14 April 2022 | author=Leney, Peter}}</ref> terminating them after only seven months of operations.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.flightglobal.com/losses-prompt-luxair-to-re-focus-on-europe/36390.article | title=Losses prompt Luxair to re-focus on Europe | work=Flight International | date=5 March 2001 | accessdate=14 April 2022 | url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release | title=Luxair to End Newark Flights | publisher=Luxair | date=12 July 1999 | id={{ProQuest|449642447}}}}</ref>

===Development since the 2000s===
In 2002, [[TAROM]] routed its flight from Bucharest to New York through Luxembourg in an attempt to increase the number of passengers.<ref>{{cite journal | title=Routes | journal=Flight International | volume=161 | issue=4830 | date=7 May 2002 | page=12 | id={{EBSCOhost|6697266|dbcode=aci}}}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url=https://adevarul.ro/stiri-interne/societate/tarom-nu-mai-zboara-spre-america-dar-ramane-la-876732.html | title=Tarom nu mai zboara spre America, dar ramane la New York | work=Adevărul | date=21 November 2003 | accessdate=5 November 2022 | language=Romanian}}</ref>

Luxembourg Airport has constructed a high-security zone far away from most airport activities in order to attract the business of transporting valuable goods such as art and jewels. According to [[Hiscox]], there is a "massive demand" for such a hub for precious cargo. Planes [[Taxiing|taxi]] away from main airport facilities before loading.<ref>{{cite news |last=Michaels |first=Daniel |title=Gunmen Waylay Jet, Swipe Diamond Trove |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323495104578313523821463276 |access-date=20 February 2013 |newspaper=Wall Street Journal |date=19 February 2013}}</ref>

In 2015, the airline with the largest share of the airport's total passenger volume was still Luxair with 1.69 million passengers at a 63% share.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wort.lu/en/luxembourg/air-travel-lux-airport-expects-6-percent-growth-new-destinations-in-2016-568fc7200da165c55dc50dc7 |title=Air travel: lux-Airport expects 6 percent growth, new destinations in 2016 |date=8 January 2016 |access-date=15 March 2016 |archive-date=1 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801173440/https://www.wort.lu/en/luxembourg/air-travel-lux-airport-expects-6-percent-growth-new-destinations-in-2016-568fc7200da165c55dc50dc7 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Luxembourg Airport was closed to all passenger traffic for a week from 23 to 29 March 2020 as a public health measure during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{in lang|fr}} Le Findel ferme aux voyageurs dès lundi.

In December 2023, [[China Southern Airlines]] began service to [[Zhengzhou]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.lux-airport.lu/china-southern-celebrates-first-flight-from-lux-airport/ | title=China Southern celebrates first flight from lux-Airport! | work=Luxembourg Airport | date=28 December 2023 | accessdate=28 January 2024}}</ref>

===Claims of linguistic discrimination===
In 2021, it was announced that public announcements in [[Luxembourgish]] (and in [[German language|German]] as well) at Luxembourg Airport would cease after many decades of use; it would only be using [[French language|French]] and [[English language|English]] for future public announcements.<ref>{{cite web|title=Findel airport: Public announcements no longer available in Luxembourgish|url=https://today.rtl.lu/news/luxembourg/a/1778933.html|access-date=13 October 2021|website=today.rtl.lu|language=en}}</ref> {{ill|Actioun Lëtzebuergesch|lb}} declared itself to be hugely upset by this new governmental measure, citing that other airports in the world seem to have no problems making public announcements in multiple languages; according to a poll conducted by AL, 92.84% of people in Luxembourg wished to have public announcements to be made in Luxembourgish at Luxembourg Airport.<ref>[http://www.actioun-letzebuergesch.lu/files/artikelen/20210907-al.pdf D’Sprooche vun den automateschen Ukënnegungen um Flughafe Findel], Actioun Lëtzebuergesch, 7 September 2021</ref> All written signs at Luxembourg Airport are only in French and English. This non-use of Luxembourgish and German (two official languages of Luxembourg) have fueled claims of [[linguistic discrimination]], some pointing out that other airports seem to have no difficulties using up to 4 different languages in written signs.<ref>[https://guykaiser.lu/actioun-letzebuergesch-dsprooche-vun-den-automateschen-uke%cc%88nnegungen-um-flughafe-findel/ Actioun Lëtzebuergesch: D’Sprooche vun den automateschen Ukënnegungen um Flughafe Findel], Guy Kaiser, 8 September 2021</ref>

==Terminals==
[[File:LuxApt check-in.jpg|thumb|Terminal interior]]

===Terminal A===
Built in 1975, the building was the only terminal of the airport for 30 years, until terminal B opened in 2004. The terminal was getting overcrowded especially during the summer period, and only contained four shops, a post office  and a restaurant. The terminal started to be demolished at the end of 2011 and was complete by March 2012; this was to make way for a [[footbridge]] connecting terminal B to the new terminal A. Construction of the new Terminal A started in 2005 and it was inaugurated in May 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lux-airport.lu/corporate/the-company/our-story/ |title=The History of Luxembourg Airport |author=<!--Not stated--> |access-date=1 August 2019}}</ref>

===Terminal B===
Terminal B opened in 2004. The building is unique as it only has gates and no check-in counters or arrivals hall. It was built for small planes with a maximum capacity of 50 people. It can handle up to 600,000 passengers a year. The Terminal reopened in the summer of 2017 after some arrangements to handle aircraft with a capacity of up to 110 passengers and a total of 1 million passengers annually.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lessentiel.lu/fr/luxembourg/story/23507402 |title=Le terminal B du Findel rouvrira pour l'été 2017 |last=L'essentiel|date=26 May 2016 }}</ref>

==Ground transportation==
===Road===
The airport is served by junction 9 of the [[A1 motorway (Luxembourg)|A1 motorway]] (Luxembourg City - [[Trier]]). It is connected via public bus routes 6, 16, and 29 to Luxembourg City, and regional bus line 302 to Trier, Germany.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bus & Tram - lux-Airport |url=https://www.lux-airport.lu/parking-transport/bus/ |website=www.lux-airport.lu |access-date=4 March 2025 |date=30 August 2022}}</ref>

===Tram===
The airport is home to the northern terminus of Line 1 of the [[Trams in Luxembourg|Luxembourg City tramway]], with the extension from [[Kirchberg, Luxembourg|Kirchberg]] that opened in March 2025.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lemaire |first1=Christophe |title=Tram takes first passengers to Luxembourg Airport |url=https://www.luxtimes.lu/luxembourg/tram-takes-first-passengers-to-luxembourg-airport/46740272.html |access-date=4 March 2025 |work=Luxembourg Times |date=2 March 2025}}</ref>

===Rail===
In 2003, the [[Chamber of Deputies (Luxembourg)|Chamber of Deputies]] approved then-[[List of ministers for transport of Luxembourg|Minister of Transportation]] [[Henri Grethen]]'s project to link the airport to the [[Luxembourg railway station|central train station]] via Kirchberg by a mostly underground railway connection.<ref>{{cite news |title=La gare souterraine du Findel verra-t-elle le jour? |url=https://lequotidien.lu/a-la-une/la-gare-souterraine-du-findel-verra-t-elle-le-jour/ |access-date=4 March 2025 |work=Le Quotidien |date=27 March 2024 |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Adam |first1=Andreas |title=Sous le Findel: la gare fantôme accueillera boutiques et data-center |url=https://www.virgule.lu/luxembourg/sous-le-findel-la-gare-fantome-accueillera-boutiques-et-data-center/220197.html |access-date=4 March 2025 |work=Virgule |date=21 June 2016 |language=fr-LU}}</ref>

In 2008, a rail tunnel under the airport was built, following the construction of Terminal A. Due to budgetary constraints the project was shelved in 2009, with the tunnel remaining vacant since.<ref>{{cite news |title=Endroits cachés: Découvrez la gare souterraine "oubliée" sous l'aéroport du Findel |url=https://infos.rtl.lu/actu/luxembourg/a/2168440.html |access-date=4 March 2025 |work=infos.rtl.lu |date=13 February 2024 |language=fr}}</ref>
