the airport is aiming to create additional business
opportunities in the field of non-aviation from the
now wider and more attractive spectrum of retail outlets.
Altogether, the SkyCourt doubles the commercial
space at the airport.
The largest premises in the SkyCourt – with an area
of 1,400 square meters – have been let to the firm
of Gebr. Heinemann, which in Germany is the No. 1
operator of duty-free stores at airports. The SkyCourt applies the walk-through principle. On their
way from the security controls, passengers are
streamed through the duty-free area. But the needs
of travelers who are in a hurry have also been taken
into consideration and they can find their way around
easily. Lowered and marked ceilings point the way
directly to the central information area and on to the
gates.
Despite the ample shopping facilities, only 4,400
