During World War I, the airport was used by the German military. Following the British occupation in 1945, the airport was renamed Hamburg Airport. Lufthansa began passenger operations there in 1955 but later moved its hub to Frankfurt Airport. Over the years, the airport has seen various airlines, offering numerous destinations.
