Service
Overview map of the Hamburg Airport rail line (marked in red)

During daytime the station is served with a ten-minute headway, in the early morning and the evening the station is served every twenty minutes. Travel time between the airport and Hamburg main station is approximately 25 minutes. On weekdays the first train arrives at the airport at about 4:30h, while the last train headed for the main station leaves shortly before midnight, covering the complete operation hours of the airport. Since the airport is not operated during night time, there are no night services on the S-Bahn.

Usually the airport is served by three-car trains. The six-car trains composed of two three-car EMUs coming from the main station are split at Ohlsdorf station with the first three cars proceeding to the airport and the last three cars going on to Poppenbüttel.

Before the opening of the station, public transport access to the airport was limited to standard fare bus services and an express bus service between Hamburg main station, Ohlsdorf station and the airport that required an additional fee. A few months after the inauguration of the S-Bahn service, however, the express bus service was discontinued permanently.

Tariff and Fares

The airport station lies within the "Hamburg AB" fare area of the HVV (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund - Hamburg Transport Association) and can be reached with a standard ticket, no additional fares apply. In 2018 a single ride from the main station to the airport costs 3,30 EUR for people above the age of 14 and 1,20 EUR for those below that age.
