GERMANY. In encouraging news for the restart of travel in Germany and Europe, Fraport Group announced today that it will reopen Frankfurt Airport Terminal 2 on 1 June. Some retail and dining services will open, including Frankfurt Airport Retail duty free shops and travel essentials stores.
Food outlets will focus initially on meeting travellers’ basic needs and will only be available for takeaway until further notice. Terminal 2 parking facilities and the Sky Line and bus transfer connections to Terminal 1 will also begin providing regular service again.
“We’re very pleased to announce that, after more than a year, Terminal 2 will finally be reopening,” said Sascha König, who heads Fraport’s Terminal Resource Management Department. “This will put us in an excellent position for handling the predicted increase in passenger volumes during the upcoming Summer months. Of course, we’re also doing everything possible to prevent infection and safeguard the health of our passengers and employees at Terminal 2.”
Health measures implemented to prepare Terminal 2 include 3,000 floor markings, 480 see-through partitions installed at the check-in counters, blocking off every other seat in the waiting areas, and installing 30 disinfectant dispensers.
Other services available include a pharmacy, currency exchange, tax refund, customs, as well as car rental services. The Visitors’ Terrace at Terminal 2 will remain closed until August.
Terminal 2 has been closed to traffic since March 2020, due to the collapse in flight schedules caused by the pandemic.
