Barrier-free travel
Dresden Airport is designed so that disabled people can move around without any difficulty. Toilets, lifts, phones, shops and eateries all have easy access.
Passengers with restricted mobility or a disability can obtain support from the PRM service provided by the airport fire brigade. The support service, which provides assistance for incapacitated people on behalf of the airlines, helps them on the way to and from the aircraft, when checking in their luggage and for passport and customs checks.
Please inform your airline or your travel agent when you make your booking that you would like to use the support service at Dresden Airport.
