Airport Düsseldorf view 4 Live Cam

The apron and runway at Düsseldorf Airport, with aircraft taxiing across the far side and the open airfield behind. The near half of the frame is bare stand concrete.

The interest sits along the horizon, where departing aircraft roll past from left to right. Beyond the grass strip and the perimeter treeline, the chimneys and cooling towers of the Rhine-Ruhr industrial belt stand on the skyline — a reminder of how tightly this airport is wrapped in one of Europe's densest urban regions.

Short-haul narrow-bodies make up most of the movements. The low sun of a northern evening lights the whole apron from the side.
