History of Lübeck International Airport

The construction of the airport began in 1916 and was completed in 1917, when it started its operations as a military airfield. At the end of World War I, the airfield was shut down. In 1933, it was reopened and extended by the Luftwaffe. During the Berlin Blockade after World War II, the Royal Air Force flew coal to Berlin and refugees to West Germany using Douglas Dakota aircraft.

In September 2015, the airport's new owner, the German subsidiary of the Chinese PuRen Group, also declared bankruptcy. The state of Schleswig-Holstein had already announced that it would not invest in the airport.

New investors were sought, and operations would be maintained until further notice. As of January 2016, the selection process for a new owner of the airport was still ongoing. In March 2016, Wizz Air announced that it would cease all operations to and from Lübeck by April 15, 2016, leaving the airport without any scheduled passenger services. The routes to Gdask, Kiev-Zhulyany, and Skopje were relocated to Hamburg Airport, while the flights to Riga and the newly established route to Sofia ceased without replacement. he last scheduled commercial flight, a Wizz Air service to Sofia, left Lübeck at 20:05 local time on April 15, 2016.

In January 2020, Lübeck Airport announced plans to start a virtual airline with scheduled flights to Stuttgart and Munich starting June 1, 2020. For this purpose, an ATR 72-500 was purchased, which will be flown under the Lübeck Air brand and operated by Air Alsie. Flights eventually began on August 17, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2023, Lübeck Air announced it would end its ATR flights and seek to start jet operations with another airline. They also published a revised route network focusing on more leisure destinations, ending the route to Stuttgart.
