Hanover Airport new partner Barig: more efficiency and services for passengers

Hanover Airport officially joins the network of BARIG, the international association representing airlines in Germany. A strategic partnership that aims to improve operational processes, ground services and, above all, the passenger experience.

The collaboration between the airport and carriers will focus on key areas such as ground operations, security, sustainability and digitalization. The goal is to make the passenger journey to the airport smoother, optimizing the check-in, controls and boarding phases, and improving the overall management of services.

For passengers, this translates into a more efficient experience, with reduced wait times, greater operational reliability and more coordinated assistance when needed.

Hannover, a strategic hub in northern Germany

The only international commercial airport in Lower Saxony, Hanover has been a key hub for air traffic in northern Germany for years. Thanks to the 24-hour operating license, the airport manages scheduled and charter flights for leisure, business and ethnic traffic, as well as cargo operations, maintenance activities and emergency services. In 2025, it recorded around 5.3 million passengers, with over 60 direct destinations between European cities, international hubs and tourist destinations.

Hannover maintains direct connections with Italy, in particular on routes with a strong leisure vocation and with a marked seasonality, especially towards the South and holiday destinations. On this front, the network is mainly served by Eurowings, Ryanair and Wizz Air, companies that guarantee an offer designed both for tourist traffic and for those traveling for personal or family reasons. 

Hanover Airport's entry into BARIG comes at a crucial stage for German aviation, marked by transformations related to innovation and sustainability. Direct dialogue with international airlines will allow us to share expertise and develop common solutions to improve the efficiency of the system.

For Italian and European passengers, this evolution means being able to count on an increasingly competitive airport, with growing services and consolidated connections to northern Germany and Hanover.
