Luxembourg Findel Airport History

In 1945, Luxembourg Findel Airport commenced operations and was formally opened in 1946. It hosted thousands of flights during its first year of service even though the runway was made out of grass and the terminal was a small wooden building.

In the early 1950s two new runways were constructed in response to the increased traffic allowing the airport to handle night flights.

In 1975, the outdated terminal building was replaced with a modern one. In 1984 the runway had yet again been extended and by the 1990s a new control tower was built. Since then, a new terminal has been built causing airport capacity to increase significantly.
