Passengers in these airports in the next two years significantly grew and the Dusseldorf airport served the highest number of commuters in 2009, approximately 48 million. Passengers in the Berlin Tegel more than doubled in just two years. Meanwhile, visitors in the Dusseldorf airport declined but served more than 45 million people in 2012, highest during the whole period. On the contrary, Frankfurt airport received an increasing number of passengers each year before hitting the peak in 2012 with almost 70 million passengers.

Finally, in 2012 the highest number of air travellers used the Frankfurt airport (69.3 million) while around 43-46 million travellers used the other two airports.
