Frankfurt Airport EDDF / FRA
Germany's main hub, 20 minutes from the banking district, with a GA terminal on the south side. Slot coordination, long taxi times and a strict night ban make Egelsbach the quicker option for light and midsize jets; Frankfurt remains the choice for heavy aircraft and long-haul departures.
