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 various 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.
