Düsseldorf Intl. Airport Spotting Guide

Published by Severin at January 31, 2017 - last modified on March 17, 2020

Düsseldorf Airport is the third busiest airport in Germany. With 24,6 Mio. passengers in 2017, the airport topped their highest amount of PAX from the last year. Also they added various first class carriers during the past years which offer many national and international routes to the biggest metropols of Europe, North America and Asia. If you are looking for variety of airlines and airplanes Düsseldorf is the right place to be. Not only the excellent spotting locations make your trip to this city worth it, but also the city itself. With many connections to the inner and outer districts of the city you can easily discover all the facet of the most beautiful city next to the river rhine.
Eurowings have their biggest hubs for long haul operations in Düsseldorf. Germania, TUIfly and Condor offer a high amount of touristic destinations. Most of the intercontinental services from Asia and America are the very first flights to arrive when operations starts again at the airport (Singapore Airlines, Etihad, Air China, Delta Air Lines). The airport is restricted in its operations from 06:00AM to 23:00PM. Since the 5th of June 2016 Emirates serves their Dubai rotations with A380 twice a day. Singapore Airlines is bringing their brand new flagships of modern airliners to Düsseldorf (A350). ANA is also operating its Boeing 787 Dreamliner into Düsseldorf.

Düsseldorf is one of the spotter friendliest airports in Germany. With many apron tours being offered and a large visitorplatform you will find many chances to get close to action here. Also the spottingpoints around the airport offer clear shots on the airplanes.
Airport authorities are also aware of our hobby, so ladders are not restricted at the periemter fence.

Written by Daniel Kramm (local spotter), Severin Hackenberger (regular visitor) and Marcus (some pictures provided).

Observation Deck Terminal B - All runway moments, taxiway, ramp

WHERE The observation deck on terminal B is the one and only visitor platform since the closure of the second one at the railway station. Once you are inside the departures hall terminal B follow the stairs up to starbucks next to the piano and cafè. Follow the signs and you will find the entrance at the very end.

+++ CLOSED FROM MARCH 9TH 2020 FOR 12 WEEKS DUE TO MAINTENANCE +++

WHAT It’s a great place for spotters and families as you have a great roundview of the apron and you won´t miss a single movement. Every gate on this terminal is viewable and also a few stands on terminal A and C. Best if runways 05 are active for arrivals and departures. 23 arrivals will exit infront of you and most departures on 23L are okay, except the light ones.
TIME You have access to the platform every day of the week from 09:00 to 20:00 (April to October) and from 10:00 – 19:00 (November to March). You will have backlit from afternoon on (summer).
MISC. There are security checks which can lead to longer queues. Food and water bottles are still allowed. The fee is 2,20€ for adults. Restrooms and a small snack bar (opens only in the summer) is behind the security on the terrace so you don´t have to leave it.
An issue are the APUs and engine exhausts wich can lead to a massive heat distortion on your photos, especially on the runway and even on the nearby taxiway.
Please check the official website for exact opening times and additional infos.
FOCAL LENGTH Depends on the angle but from 20-300 you should be fine

Carpark P7 - 05R/23L all movements

WHERE When you are coming from inside the terminal proceed to the very end of terminal A and follow the signs to carpark P7. Take the elevator to the upper deck, level 8, and walk to the other end of the garage. The barrier is lowered from some point and no ladder is needed.
You can also enter the carpark with your car but you have to pay around 25 Euros a day. Please stick to the closure and don’t leave waste since its a rising problem at every position.
WHAT The spot is best for all runway movements on 05R/23L as you are almost in the middle of the runway. Also taxiway photos to and from 23L are possible. Runway 05L/23R is in sight but very far. Furthermore you can photograph the apron where most Eurowings planes are parked.
TIME You will have backlit from here from afternoon on (summer). Due to the distance, heat is a serious problem here and we recommend this spot only in the morning hours. During hot and calm summer days its almost impossible to photograph from here without distortion. But in winter you will have less problems.
MISC. Facilities available inside the terminal.
FOCAL LENGTH 100 – 400 mm

Skytrain Stairs - taxiway for departures 23L

WHERE Follow the Frachtstraße to the very end. You will find a stair next to the skytrain station. You can park your car here if you are only staying for a short time. For longer visits the marked parkspots are recommended. If you are arriving with the skytrain from the terminal take the elevator to the lowest floor. Leave the buildung until you reach the mentioned stairs. With a ladder you can go the perimeter fence aswell. It offers a better view on the runway.

DON’T ENTER THE SPOT THROUGH THE EMERGENCY DOOR AT THE END OF THE SKYTRAIN PLATFORM! 

WHAT Great spot in the morning for planes taxiing to runway 23L. Apart from this some aircraft departing runway 05R lowly can be spotted as well. Sometimes you might also be lucky, so you can spot late vacators of runway 05R. Be prepared, that you can’t see any approaching airplanes till touchdown on 23L.
This spot is also very attractive for nightshots. Special visitors will be parked just in front of the spot.
TIME You will have backlit from here from afternoon on (summer).
MISC. Facilities are available inside the building.

WHERE By foot, start at the terminal and follow the signs to the GAT and P13. There is a footpath and after 15-20 minutes you are coming to the footbridge (spot 15). Turn right here into a small path along the perimeter fence and follow it until you are under runway 05L.

Spielberger Weg - 05L arrivals

WHERE This spot is at the end of “Spielberger Weg” and can be reached easily from “Niederrheinstrasse”. Just follow the street till its end, where you’ll see some parking possibilities on your right. Then choose your favourite position, because this spot is no exact position, rather the area round here. Germania A321 was taken from the road end, which can be seen on the overview shot. For the SIA A350 we walked down the path a bit onto the field to get a bit more under the arrivalpath (marked on the map and can be seen at the right side of the overview shot).

You might also take pictures from the Audi and VW Car dealer “Moll Gruppe”, where distnace is a bit higher, but the angler and window to shoot are better. We didn’t expirienced this area for spotting yet, but if you did so, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

TIME You will have backlit here from ~3pm in the summer.

WHAT Line-Ups on runway 05R and head to head take offs on runway 23L. You won’t need a ledder here, as a small mound offers enough height to watch over the fence  but easier with 1-2 steps. High grass and some signs and poles along the taxiway may disturb a perfect photo.

    Hallo zusammen!
    Braucht man an den Positionen im Norden für die 05R und 23L Vollformat oder reicht ein normales 100-400 mm Objektiv?

    Reply
    • Severin Severin says:
      April 27, 2020 at 13:16

      Vollformatkamera und Objektiv sind ja zwei unterschiedliche Sachen… Aber bei Focal Length findest du jeweils die Millimieterangaben für eine Cropkamera, das sollte eine passende Antwort sein.
