It has more than two million passengers per year.
The modern airport terminal structure extends over the adjacent motorway and railway. The terminal access is south of the railway while the runway 08L/26R parallels the driveway north of the railway, requiring aircraft to taxi on a bridge over the tracks and roads. The airport was modernized with the 2012 Olympic Games hosting bid for Leipzig in mind but the city lost out to London. The recent DHL move in early 2008 from Brussels Airport to Leipzig as its European hub will dramatically increase the cargo traffic in the coming months. One of the most unusual aspects of Leipzig/Halle is the large number of tour operators sales offices within the airport building. This is apparently the result of regulations that permit discount operations within airport terminals. Another feature of the airport is the adjoining modern Porsche factory, with special facilities for visitors and conventions.
