Fraport has announced that it will officially inaugurate the new Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport on April 22, 2026.
The expansion project has reached another key milestone by passing official inspections such as fire protection, with the new terminal no longer categorized as a construction site, meaning Fraport can begin preparing to start operations.
Now that the authorities have given the green light, the Terminal 3 is entering its final stage of development. This includes the installation of 21 security check lanes, the completion of food and shopping areas and ongoing testing of the baggage handling system.
The new terminal will also undergo a 21-day test operation on January 27-April 16, 2026, when around 8,000 passengers will trial the terminal to ensure all processes and running smoothly.
