Frankfurt-Hahn Airport is a single-terminal airport located well west of Frankfurt city; it has historically hosted low-cost and charter carriers rather than acting as a full-service hub. Passenger facilities are concentrated in one main passenger building.

The airport sits outside the immediate Frankfurt metropolitan area; ground connections to Frankfurt and other cities are provided by scheduled shuttle coaches and regional buses rather than rail from the terminal.
