Airport Plaza

The airport’s newest building, the Airport Plaza, was officially opened on 4th December 2008. Also designed by architects von Gerkan, Marg & Partner the Airport Plaza is a perfect match with the rest of the airport’s architecture; both visually and functionally. It has been designed in the same style as the flanking terminal complexes, which it also interconnects. The Airport Plaza is the site of a central security checkpoint. This means that every passenger on their way to a departure gate will pass through one of the 16 aviation security checkpoints located in the building. In addition to this both of the baggage handling systems currently located in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 will be brought together on the lower ground floor of the Airport Plaza. With a floor area of 4,900 square metres the Airport Plaza is smaller than Terminal 2 (5,850 square metres) and Terminal 1 (6,300 square metres).

Passengers who have passed through the central security checkpoint will find more than 25 shops at their disposal. They will be able to purchase fashion, accessories, toys, electrical goods and the classic Travel Value & Duty Free range of products in a relaxed atmosphere before departure. Retailers represented at the Airport Plaza include Heinemann Duty Free. Furthermore, there are shops with brands such as Escada, MCM, Porsche Design, Swarovski, Lacoste, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc O´Polo and many more.

A food court offering a diverse range of catering outlets and operated by Marché International ensure that passengers’ physical wellbeing is not neglected. Outlets include a Marché™ organic bakery selling freshly baked items; Cindy’s Diner offering juicy burgers; a Mövenpick coffee bar with numerous coffee specialities on the menu and the San Pino, spoiling guests with tasty pizza and salad dishes. In addition to this Marché International has a licence to operate a Gosch Sylt Restaurant serving high quality fish dishes.
