History
Erfurt Airport in 1979
The airport's name was changed from Erfurt Airport in 2011,[3] it was felt that from a marketing point of view the addition of Weimar to the name would better sell the area due to its historic importance.
Despite its importance as a state capital and its central location within Germany, the airport features no domestic flights. The only route to Munich Airport offered by Cirrus Airlines ceased by March 2012.[4] However, the city will become one of Germany's most important long distance railway hubs by 2017, when the newly constructed Munich-Berlin high-speed line will meet the Frankfurt-Dresden line at Erfurt main station. As a result, it will be possible to reach Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich within two hours by rail from Erfurt, making domestic flights redundant.[5]
Facilities
The airport consists of the two passenger terminal buildings A and B, but only the new Terminal B is currently in use. It features two aircraft parking positions and four boarding gates on two levels, the upper ones are equipped with jet bridges. There are also some shops and restaurants, a visitors terrace as well as travel and rental car agencies inside the terminal.[6] The apron also features several additional bus-boarding stands for mid-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 737.
