## Description

Passengers, not pallets, define Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (IATA: PAD, ICAO: EDLP): the regional field near Büren in North Rhine-Westphalia's Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) region carried 818,378 travellers in 2024 and 711,434 in 2025, the dip driven by Lufthansa dropping its Munich link and Ryanair ending Girona. Charter holiday flying dominates, backed by business aviation and a growing share of general aviation (44,111 movements in 2025, up 19%). PAD runs a small cargo operation with its own X-ray security screening, but there is no scheduled freighter service and no published annual tonnage. Larger air-freight shipments from the OWL industrial belt move through Cologne/Bonn (CGN, about 150 km, a UPS hub) and Frankfurt (FRA). Sitting on the A33 motorway, PAD is well connected for road trucking. For forwarders it is essentially a passenger airport with limited but genuine cargo handling.
