Frankfurt Airport lies about 12 kilometres southwest of central Frankfurt am Main in the German state of Hesse. It is one of the busiest airports in Europe and serves as the country's primary international gateway, sitting at the heart of the continental aviation network. The site has hosted commercial aviation since 1936, with the present terminal complex developed progressively from the 1970s onward.

The airport operates two passenger terminals connected by an automated people mover, with Terminal 1 handling Lufthansa and Star Alliance traffic and Terminal 2 used by other alliances and carriers. A third terminal is under construction in the southern part of the airfield. Four runways are in use, three roughly parallel and one dedicated to landings, and a partial nighttime curfew restricts scheduled operations.
