Stuttgart Airport is preparing for a major increase in passenger numbers as Baden-Württemberg’s summer holidays begin. Over the next few weeks, officials expect to handle around 1.6 million travellers arriving or departing. The surge in traffic will see busy terminals and longer queues, particularly on peak travel days.

The busiest day is set to be August 1, with more than 270 takeoffs and landings scheduled. Expedia has ramped up services to meet demand, with Istanbul, Antalya, and Palma de Mallorca ranking as the top destinations. Each of these routes will see over 400 flights during the holiday period.

The airport’s preparations come as families and holidaymakers head to popular summer spots. With 1.6 million passengers expected, efficient planning will be crucial. Officials have stressed the importance of early arrival and patience during peak travel times.
