## Description

Dortmund Airport (IATA: DTM, ICAO: EDLW) in the eastern Ruhr is North Rhine-Westphalia's third-busiest commercial airport, behind Düsseldorf and Cologne/Bonn, with a record 3,132,707 passengers in 2024 and a low-cost profile led by Wizz Air and Eurowings; Katowice is its single most-flown route. On the cargo side, the Dortmund Airport Cargo-Service in Hall 8 handles roughly 6,000 tonnes a year and specialises in dangerous-goods (DG) packing and handling, with on-site customs clearance and forwarders such as NOSTA Group on the field. The A2 and A44 motorways tie DTM directly into the Ruhr logistics belt. For larger air-freight volumes and main-deck freighters, the nearest big cargo hubs are Cologne/Bonn (CGN), Frankfurt (FRA) and Leipzig/Halle (LEJ).
