Hamburg is becoming an increasingly important business centre and travel destination," said Christian Kunsch, CEO of Hamburg Airport. The new flight boosts both tourism as well as global economic trade relations and also increases the volume of air freight at Hamburg Airport. "As Germany's most important foreign trade centre, international accessibility is a key factor for Hamburg.
