Hydrogen is considered essential for future aircraft. So that these machines can also take off from Hamburg, the airport in Fuhlsbüttel is planning a major renovation and has a corresponding timetable for this.
The airport made the plans together with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Accordingly, large hydrogen tanks will later be planned on the airport grounds, as they currently only exist in space travel at rocket launch sites.
Short- and medium-haul jets will probably be used in particular on hydrogen. According to the DLR, kerosene will continue to be needed on long-haul routes for weight reasons, but in the future it will be synthetically produced. According to EU plans, all air traffic should be climate neutral by 2050.
