Delta has long-established links to its key North American hubs while there is strong evidence for demand from other points. Unsurprisingly many people fly in just to collect their dream cars, some served by this Porsche dealership next to the airport. The aerial view clearly demonstrates how the new International Congress Center (ICC/opened 2007) is an integral part of the airport complex.
Other major reasons to serve this airport
- The economic factors in the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg are extremely strong and show the economic viability this region has consistently over-achieved for several decades. The state is belongs to the “Four Motors of Europe”.
- Baden-Wuerttemberg has over 426,000 Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) which are the backbone of the local economy. It is the home of multinational companies such as Daimler, Porsche, Bosch, Hugo Boss. In addition foreign companies, such as IBM, Hewlett Packard and Kodak, have established their German or European headquarters within the Stuttgart Airport catchment area.
- Stuttgart Airport truly opens the door to one of the most beautiful parts of Germany, with its fantastic landscapes, thriving cities and university towns, and upscale recreational activities. Baden-Wuerttemberg is one of the largest tourist states in Germany. The Black Forest enjoys a worldwide reputation for its lush romantic valleys, gorges, water mills and farms as well as for its cuckoo clocks. In summer time, Lake Constance shines against the backdrop of the Alps with countless white and colored sails, radiating a lighthearted atmosphere. As a result the region is in Germany’s top three positions for overnight stays and incoming traffic – especially from Asia and the Gulf region – is growing constantly
- Stuttgart is a multinational city with large migrant communities. Nationalities from southern and eastern Europe are especially well represented.
- A major new trade fair and congress centre opened in 2007 located just five minutes walking distance from the terminal buildings.
Significant marketing programmes include those undertaken by the 70 trade fairs which take place at the neighbouring International Congress Center each year – there were 20,000 exhibitors and 1.6m visitors in 2008 (not surprisingly may of these events are automotive-related). The airport also has very high quality printed, electronic and other direct marketing vehicles which support its carriers .
