What happened
- Location: Terminal 3 is on the opposite side of the airfield from Terminals 1 and 2, connected by the SkyLine (every 2 mins, up to 10 min journey).
- Lounge Updates: The only confirmed lounge announcement is a ~550 sqm SkyTeam Lounge in the non-Schengen area, serving Delta, Korean Air, China Airlines, China Eastern, MEA, Saudia, and Vietnam Airlines. Air France is expected to open a lounge as it moves in later. Rumors suggest potential oneworld or Qatar Airways lounges, but nothing is formalized.
- Future Plans: Terminal 2 will undergo redevelopment after the move, with Lufthansa potentially expanding into it long-term. This is a significant operational change for frequent fliers using FRA, particularly those relying on Terminal 2 or specific alliance lounges
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) Terminal 3 has officially opened, marking a major infrastructure update for the hub. The new terminal, designed for 19 million annual passengers, will replace Terminal 2 (which handles most non-Star Alliance carriers) as airlines transition in four phases starting April 23, 2026, and concluding June 9, 2026.
