Air Berlin is the dominant carrier with significant operations from the airport, followed by Lufthansa. The vast majority of scheduled flights are to points within Europe. Currently only Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines provide transoceanic service; both to New York City in the United States. Hainan Airlines offers service to Beijing a few times a week and Air Berlin flies to Bangkok, Thailand. The airport has two parallel runways, 08L/26R and 08R/26L. Approximately seventy percent of operations use 26L & 26R when the prevailing winds are from the west. 08L & 08R are most frequently used in clear weather when prevailing winds are from the east. | ||
