## Description

Around 1.89 million passengers passed through Bremen Airport (IATA: BRE, ICAO: EDDW) in 2024, making it an active regional gateway on the southern edge of Bremen in northwest Germany. Dedicated air cargo is modest — roughly 9,200 tonnes in 2023 — and a large share moves as trucked air freight (RFS) by road to larger hubs such as Frankfurt. Ground handling is provided by Bremen Airport Handling GmbH and Bremen Airport Service GmbH, with Lufthansa Cargo present as a carrier. The airport's value for freight lies in its proximity to the Airbus Defence and Space plant and Bremen's port and industrial economy, which generate demand for industrial and outsize shipments. For time-critical or high-volume cargo, Hamburg (HAM, about 120 km) and Frankfurt (FRA) are the nearest larger options; customs clearance is available on site.
