Airport transfer from Cologne – groups to the plane without stress
Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN, Konrad Adenauer) is, with over 12 million passengers, an important regional airport with increasingly international connections. It lies 17 km southeast of Cologne and is the central hub for both Cologne and Bonn (30 km). For groups of 8+ people, your own bus is the cost-efficient choice. With an airport bus you organise Cologne CGN logistics from a single source: collective pickup at hotels in the city centre, Deutz or at HBF, joint trip via A59 or A4, punctual drop-off at Terminal 1 or 2 and return after landing. For gamescom arrival or international carnival guests, bus with on-board equipment is standard. Particularly relevant: CGN is also an important freight airport (FedEx, UPS hub) and has night-flight permission – freight operators often use bus personnel transfers at night. Plan 2.5 h before departure for return flights, in carnival or gamescom weeks 3 h.
