Dusseldorf International Airport DUS is a major German Airport, serving the heavily industrialized area of the 'Ruhrgebiet' - the Ruhr area of northwest Germany. Its catchment area covering a 50-km range includes 9.2 million people, and twice as much within a 100-km range.

The Airport is located near the town of Ratingen, 9 km from the city center of Dusseldorf, the capital of Westfalia, and is situated directly on the A44 motorway with its own exit, also accessible by Danziger Strasse and motorway A52 which connects to A44. Alternatively, the S-Bahn (subway) line 11 stop is under the passenger terminal, and Skytrain connects the passenger terminal to the Dusseldorf Airport Railway Station (with  ICCE, IC, EC & regional train connections).

With two long runways and an estimated 20.8 million passengers in 2012, Dusseldorf Airport is hub to Air Berlin, Eurowings & Lufthansa, and is served by numerous domestic and international airlines offering direct flights throughout Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., with connections around the world, and by seasonal charters and low-cost Airlines serving popular vacation destinations.
Air China has started a new route from Beijing to Dusseldorf, and American Alines offers flights to Chicago.

NOTE: The new Airport Control Center (ACC) is to include within a single area airport and air transport specialists, Federal Police, and service & handlig companies representatives, all of whom will be connected to the German Air Traffic Control & Meteorological Service. The new ACC features an extensive software system used to monitor & forecast traffic, show weathr conditions, and view airport grounds on a 16-meter screen - all of which are to optimize ground processes and contribute to improved punctuality.
