A fascinating view of the airport grounds, including the takeoff and landing runways, can be enjoyed from the observation deck at the rail station (see airport map). The platform covers the entire gallery level of the rail station and is divided into open-air and enclosed sections.

Special instructions for wheel chair users
On behalf of the airlines the staff at Klüh take care of wheelchair guests at the Düsseldorf Airport. Your airline is responsible for passenger mobility to or from the aircraft (see Liftmobile).
If you have any further wishes, e.g. you do not know how to get from the airport rail station or from your parking place to the departures area, before you arrive, please contact the airline.
Parking Tips for Wheelchair Users
Our best recommendation for wheelchair users arriving with their own vehicles is to park in parking structure P1 directly beneath the terminal. Those who choose to park in parking structures 2 and 3, however, can arrange to have someone collect them and their luggage and bring them to their departures area. Because these parking areas are within a short walking distance of the terminal, you may decide to forgo the passenger transport service upon your return. Sometimes all of the passenger transport vehicles are occupied when many planes are landing, and there can be long waiting periods.
Düsseldorf International offers its guests wireless Internet access with their notebooks and PDAs. The largest WiFi hotspot in North Rhine-Westphalia has been set up on more than 50 000 m2 of public space. Each surfer has the opportunity to also check out the free services available at the airport on its homepage, on which the wireless Internet access has been pre-programmed.

3,000 additional airport parking spaces. The new Duesseldorf International multi-story car park will go into operation at the end of September – parking capacity keeps pace with growth in passenger numbers
The crane carefully manouvres the metal supports into position. The steel framework, the backbone of the new building, rises yet higher into the air. The new Duesseldorf Airport multi-story car park is being erected on the former Deutsche Flugsicherung (German air traffic control) site. Following the opening of P5 at the end of September this year, six levels and an outside area will provide parking space for around 3,000 cars. The airport will allow access to over 16,800 parking spaces in total, just in time for the autumn holiday period.
"As an airport operator, we are constantly working on improving the quality of our product. Airport parking opprtunities play a central role in this", explained Christoph Blume, speaker for the Duesseldorf International management board. "The customer is not only looking for sufficient capacity but also services which correspond to particular requirements. The launch of P5 provides passengers with a further increase in the range of parking spaces in the cheaper long-stay parking zone."
