## Description

Bremen Airport (IATA: BRE, ICAO: EDDW) carries far more passengers than freight: 2025 brought 1.99 million travellers, up 5.6% year on year across some 30,000 aircraft movements, against only about 330 tonnes of cargo actually flown. Most air freight booked through Bremen never leaves the ground here — it moves by road as trucked air freight (road feeder service) to larger hubs such as Frankfurt, while remaining air freight in customs terms. Ground handling is provided by the airport's own Bremen Airport Handling and Bremen Airport Service; with no dedicated freighter flights, airborne shipments travel as belly cargo on scheduled aircraft. Demand comes from the immediate neighbourhood: the Airbus Defence and Space plant, aerospace suppliers and Bremen's port and industrial economy generate industrial parts, spares and outsize consignments. Customs clearance is available on site. Shippers needing freighter capacity, pharma or cold-chain handling turn to Hamburg (HAM, about 120 km to the north-east) or Frankfurt (FRA).
