Stuttgart Airport ({{langx|de|Flughafen Stuttgart}}) formerly {{lang|de|Flughafen Stuttgart-Echterdingen}} {{airport codes|STR|EDDS}} is an international airport serving Stuttgart, the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is christened in honor of Stuttgart's former mayor, Manfred Rommel, son of Erwin Rommel,{{cite press release | title = Namenserweiterung in Manfred Rommel Flughafen | publisher = Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH | date = 22 October 2014 | url = http://www.flughafen-stuttgart.de/das-unternehmen/presse/pressemitteilungen/2014/10/namenserweiterung-in-manfred-rommel-flughafen/?pressearchivbereich=2014-10 | access-date = 7 November 2014 | language = de | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141107055029/http://www.flughafen-stuttgart.de/das-unternehmen/presse/pressemitteilungen/2014/10/namenserweiterung-in-manfred-rommel-flughafen/?pressearchivbereich=2014-10 | archive-date = 7 November 2014 }} and is the sixth busiest airport in Germany with 11,832,634 passengers having passed through its doors in 2018. The facility covers approximately 400 hectares (1,000 acres), of which 190 hectares are green space.{{cite web|url=https://www.stuttgart-airport.com/company-information/facts-and-figures|title=Stuttgart Airport Facts and Figures|website=stuttgart-airport.com|accessdate= 14 October 2023}}
The airport is operated by Flughafen Stuttgart GmbH (FSG). It goes back to Luftverkehr Württemberg AG, which was founded in 1924 and initially operated Böblingen Airport. Since 2008, 65% of the operating company is owned by the state of Baden-Württemberg and 35% by the city of Stuttgart. It is located approximately {{convert|13|km|abbr=on}} ({{convert|10|km|abbr=on}} in a straight line) south of Stuttgart and lies on the boundary between the nearby town of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Filderstadt and Stuttgart itself. In 2007, the Messe Stuttgart convention center – the ninth biggest exhibition centre in Germany – moved to grounds directly next to the airport. Additionally, the global headquarters for car parking company APCOA Parking are located here.
History
=Early years and World War II=
The airport was built in 1939 to replace Böblingen Airport. In 1945, the United States Army took over the airport until returning it to German authorities in 1948.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
For the duration of the Cold War the runway and facilities were shared with the United States Army who operated helicopters, the Grumman OV-1 Mohawk and other fixed wing aircraft as Echterdingen Army Airfield on the southern portion of the airfield.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mil-airfields.de/de/stuttgart-echterdingen.htm|title=Stuttgart Airport - Page 1|website=mil-airfields.de}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.usarmygermany.com/Sont.htm?http&&&www.usarmygermany.com/Units/Army%20Aviation/USAREUR_Stuttgart.htm|title = USAREUR Units & Kasernes, 1945 - 1989}} Some of the units operating at Echterdingen were headquartered at nearby Nellingen Kaserne- now closed and redeveloped.{{Cite web|url=http://www.billybils.de/Seite%204_65.htm|title = 48th Aviation Company / 394thTransportation Battalion AVIM|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819151455/http://www.billybils.de/Seite%204_65.htm |archive-date=19 August 2011 |url-status=usurped}} In 1984–5, the 223rd Aviation Battalion (Combat) of the 11th Aviation Group (Combat) was headquartered at Echterdingen, with three aviation companies assigned (one at Schwäbisch Hall).Isby and Kamps, Armies of NATO's Central Front, Jane's, 1985, 375. The U.S. Army still maintains a small helicopter base - Stuttgart Army Airfield - on the southern side of the airport, which it shares with the Baden-Württemberg Police helicopter wing. The police helicopter wing falls under the control of Stuttgart Police Department and has six modern helicopters based at Stuttgart and two in Söllingen.{{cn|date=February 2025}}
=The airport in the 1950s-1990s=
The airport was expanded after World War II. The runway was extended to {{convert|1800|m|abbr=on|0}} in 1948, then to {{convert|2250|m|abbr=on|0}} in 1961 and finally to {{convert|3345|m|abbr=on|0}} in 1996. Renovation was scheduled for 2020, full closure phase was preponed to be completed in April during the corona lockdown.{{cite web|url=https://www.stuttgart-airport.com/company-information/runway-renewal/the-project/|title=Partial renewal of the runway|publisher=Stuttgart Airport|access-date=2020-05-09}}
The original 1938 terminal was finally replaced in 2004 and there are now four terminals with a maximum capacity of approximately 12 million passengers.{{cn|date=February 2025}}
Politicians, town planners and nearby residents have been arguing for years about the construction of a second runway. However, on 25 June 2008, Minister-President Günther Oettinger announced that for the next 8–12 years no second runway will be built and that the restrictions for night operations stay in place.[http://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/stz/page/1744128_0_2147_stuttgart-flughafen-bekommt-keine-zweite-startbahn.html Flughafen bekommt keine zweite Startbahn] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100916201917/http://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/stz/page/1744128_0_2147_stuttgart-flughafen-bekommt-keine-zweite-startbahn.html |date=16 September 2010 }}.

Terminals
Stuttgart Airport consists of four passenger terminals which have separate check-in facilities and entrances but are directly connected to each other and share a single airside area which features eight jet bridges as well as about two dozen bus-boarding stands.{{cite web|url=http://www.stuttgart-airport.com/travellers-and-visitors/service/terminal-guide/|title=Terminal guide|access-date=4 June 2015|archive-date=23 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150123191828/http://www.stuttgart-airport.com/travellers-and-visitors/service/terminal-guide/|url-status=dead}}
- Terminal 1 is the first of two landside main halls and features together with its addition Terminal 1-West 50 check-in counters. It shares the roof with Terminals 2 and 3 and is mainly used by Eurowings and Turkish Airlines.
- Terminal 2 is a small area featuring nine check-in counters and a security checkpoint. It is located within the shopping area between the main halls of Terminals 1 and 3. It is used by Lufthansa & Star Alliance partners in addition to their counters in Terminal 1.

In March 2018, the airport administration announced that Terminal 4 will be entirely rebuilt and expanded in the coming years.{{Cite web|url=http://www.airliners.de/stuttgart-flughafen-schoefer-interview/44069|title = Interview - "Wir brauchen dringend mehr Platz"}}

Ground transportation
=Car=
There are two major highways: Just north of the airport runs the Bundesautobahn 8 (A8), which connects the cities of Karlsruhe and Stuttgart to Ulm, Augsburg and Munich. The Bundesstraße 27 (B27) leads to downtown Stuttgart, as well as to Tübingen and Reutlingen in the South.
=Coach=
From the regional cities of Esslingen am Neckar, Reutlingen, Tübingen and Kirchheim exists a connection by coach. Additionally, German long-distance coach operators DeinBus and Flixbus maintain their stop for Stuttgart on the airport grounds with direct connections to several major cities.
=Suburban railway=
Stuttgart Airport can be easily reached within 30 minutes from the city's main railway station using the Stuttgart suburban railway S2 or S3 from Stuttgart Flughafen/Messe station.
=Future long-distance railway=
It is planned to connect the airport with the future Stuttgart - Ulm high-speed railway line currently under construction as part of the major Stuttgart 21 railway redevelopment program. Therefore, a new long-distance train station will be built on the airport's grounds near the existing suburban railway station. The new station, which will be served by ICE high-speed trains will be connected to the new line by an underground loop track. The Stuttgart-Ulm line is scheduled to be opened in 2020. As of 2019, the airport connection is planned to commence operation in late 2025,{{cite news|url=http://www.bahnprojekt-stuttgart-ulm.de/projekt/ueberblick/projektstatus/|title=Projektstatus|date=28 October 2019|publisher=Bahnprojekt Stuttgart-Ulm|language=de}} versus an initial estimate of 2019 (made in 2010).
