Stuttgart Airport

Stuttgart Airport, also called STR, is the international airport for Baden-Württemberg in Germany. The airport company is Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH. The site says the airport has been a key transport hub for the region for over 100 years.

The airport describes its mission as making Baden-Württemberg reachable from around the world. More than 19 million people live in its catchment area. The route network is focused on Europe and offers direct links to major cities and international hubs. The site is spread across the towns of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Filderstadt, Ostfildern, Neuhausen and Stuttgart.

The history goes back to the first flights at Cannstatter Wasen and the Böblingen airfield from 1924. A chronicle on the site covers the airport's history since its founding in 1939.

Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH is responsible for keeping the airport working. Its work is split into aviation and non-aviation areas. Many other companies and public authorities work on site. They handle security checks, check-in, catering outlets and shops.

The airport also offers property. The site says the airport area has space for offices, retail, logistics or new projects, next to the terminal and close to the Landesmesse exhibition center. The management is named as Ulrich Heppe and Carsten Poralla.

The website has a careers section, a facts and figures page and company news. Roles named include air traffic controller, IT staff and helicopter pilot with the fire service.
