Machines and construction workers are busily digging and building in the south of Frankfurt Airport to create the new terminal, which is scheduled to be completed in 2023. But how will passengers get from there to Terminals 1 and 2 and back? After all, two runways separate it from the rest of the airport. Wolfgang Holzhausen and other planners have been racking their brains for years to solve this puzzle.
Wolfgang Holzhausen explains in the video where the new passenger transport system is being built.
Frankfurt Airport is the Rhine-Main Region’s gateway to the world: air travelers depart from here to nearly 300 destinations worldwide. Of course, an enjoyable departure includes not only a quick and easy check-in process, a pleasant ambiance and helpful employees, but also relaxed transportation to the airport.

You can’t take the second step before the first―or can you? The answer is: yes! At Frankfurt Airport, at least. Namely by advancing the construction of Pier G before the main building of Terminal 3 has been completed.
Project Manager Frank Schütz gives an insight into the next steps on the construction site of Pier G.
In a city like Frankfurt, it isn’t always easy to find a parking space―especially when you have a wingspan of 80 meters and a length of 73 meters like the A380 wide-body airliner. Piers H and J of Terminal 3 in the south of Frankfurt Airport will therefore boast a total of 24 new adjacent docking positions, four of them able to accommodate extra-large aircraft. Passengers will also enjoy maximum comfort and convenience in the new piers with total floor space of around 103,000 square meters.
Timo Ziegler, Construction Manager at Anton Schick GmbH & Co.KG, offers some insights into the construction of the Piers H and J as well as the apron control tower.
The main building is the heart and core of Terminal 3. Here passengers will begin their journeys and be welcomed back by loved ones when returning. Travelers and visitors will arrive on the platform in front by car, bus, or the airport’s new people mover system, then enter the departure hall where passengers can check in and drop off their luggage.
Project Manager Helmut Reh from dechant GmbH talks about the upcoming tasks for his company in the shell construction of the terminal main building.
