  Frankfurt-Hahn Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frankfurt Hahn Airport (German Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn) is an international aviation facility located between the towns of Simmern and Kirchberg in the Rhein-Hunsrück district of Rhineland-Palatinate in central western Germany.
The airport was originally the Hahn Air Base of the United States Air Force, and was converted to a civil airport after outliving its usefulness as a military base.
As airport charges to operators are low because of its remote location, Frankfurt Hahn is very popular with low-cost airlines like Ryanair, which uses it as one of its principal hubs.

Pan Am Flight 103 "PA103" was a regular scheduled flight, which flew from Frankfurt International Airport in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany, to Heathrow Airport in London, United Kingdom, then to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, United States.
The Pan Am Flight 103 disaster, also known in Britain as the Lockerbie disaster or the Lockerbie air disaster, was the destruction of the airplane flying this route, via the explosion of a bomb on board the airplane travelling on the London to New York leg on the evening of December 21, 1988.
One theory on the reason the timing was set to four hours is that this timing would have set the bomb to explode when the plane was over the Atlantic Ocean.

 Frankfurt Airport Expansion Delayed
Lufthansa, one of Fraport's key clients which needs airport expansion to satisfy swelling capacity, said its growth prospects were unaffected by the hold-up because it had already embarked on a double-hub strategy with Munich.
Hesse, where the airport is situated and which is one of Fraport's main shareholders, said on Tuesday the delay was not only due to the Ticona issue but also because it would take longer than expected to examine all possibilities.
Hesse argues the airport must expand to maintain its status as continental Europe's largest passenger and cargo hub and emphasises the role it plays as the Rhine-Main region's biggest employer but local residents are up in arms about increased noise and pollution levels.

BERLIN —; Travelers at Frankfurt airport, continental Europe's busiest, can now enter Germany with a three-second scan of their eyes, providing they sign up for a test project for iris recognition technology.
To qualify, passengers would need background checks by German border police, a machine-readable passport, be citizens of the European Union or Switzerland, register at the airport and have an iris scan on file.
The test is part of efforts in many countries, especially the United States in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, to extend the use of biometric technology — using fingerprint, eye or facial recognition scans — to track travelers and immigrants, while also cutting down on time spent in line.
