Düsseldorf Airport - 2018-08-11

Past Saturday it was time for our yearly trip to Dusseldorf Airport. The weather forecast was good. 22c and dry weather. After a 2 hour drive, we arrived at 8.30am in Dusseldorf.

Dusseldorf Airport is the third busiest airport in Germany. There are two parallel runways. So you don’t miss anything. A lot of German airliners fly at Dusseldorf. For example Eurowings (the largest airline in Dusseldorf), Germania, Condor, and TUI. After paying 2,20€ and a security check, we stayed the whole day on the spotters terrace.

The red circle gives you an idea where the spotters terrace is.

Below five pictures from departing airplanes on this day:

VQ-BAU Rossiya - Airbus A 319
I like these colors. It's something different than all other airliners. The Cyrillic named of this Russian airline is on the aircraft.

B-5901 Air China - Airbus A 330 300
Since a few years, Air China flies to Dusseldorf. Nowadays you can see many Chinese airliners at Europe's big airports.

At most European airports you see Ryanair. Since this year Ryanair also flies from Dusseldorf to southern Europe.

Emirates Airline - Airbus A 380
For a spotter an Airbus A 380 from Emirates is business as usual. For many people it is a happening. Everyone is looking for the takeoff of this whale…
except for the little girl in the red. :-)

I hope you enjoyed my post.
