"Our passengers can now look forward to even more flexible travel. Hamburg is becoming an increasingly important business centre and travel destination," said Christian Kunsch, CEO of Hamburg Airport. The new flight boosts both tourism as well as global economic trade relations and also increases the volume of air freight at Hamburg Airport. "As Germany's most important foreign trade centre, international accessibility is a key factor for Hamburg. Direct flights make the city even more attractive for investors and tourists as well as for organisers of international congresses and events," said Malte Heyne, Managing Director of the Chamber of Commerce.
