The world begins at HAJ.

Package trips, flights and hotels — from Hannover-Langenhagen Airport directly to the most popular holiday destinations in Europe and beyond.

Hannover as a departure hub

Well connected. Easy to reach. Ready to go.

Hannover is ideally located in central Germany. Hannover-Langenhagen Airport (IATA: HAJ) is just 11 kilometres from the city centre and reachable by S-Bahn in around 15 minutes — making it one of Germany's most convenient city airports. A large catchment area including Hildesheim, Braunschweig, Wolfsburg, Celle and Hameln makes HAJ a practical departure point for the entire region.

Reisecenter Hannover brings together offers from over 120 tour operators, bookable directly via certified travel partners. All packages can be filtered by departure airport — including HAJ.

Hannover Airport (HAJ)

HAJ's summer schedule includes direct flights to the most popular holiday destinations: Mallorca, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos, Antalya, Hurghada, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Faro (Algarve), Split, Dubrovnik — depending on season and operator. Security queues are typically shorter than at Frankfurt or Düsseldorf. A genuine comfort advantage for Hannover travellers.

For destinations without direct connections from HAJ — such as the Maldives, Thailand or the Dominican Republic — connecting flights via Frankfurt (FRA), Amsterdam (AMS) or Munich (MUC) are the standard route. Package operators often offer these combinations as a single booking from Hannover.
