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.

Parking

The following applies if you have a special parking permit in the form of a blue EU parking badge (only for severely disabled people with the special aG or BI markers): 

Multi-storey car park / P3 car park 

You will find designated disabled parking spaces for people with restricted mobility, who have a special parking permit, on level 3 in our multi-storey car park. People with a special parking permit (blue EU badge) can use these parking spaces in the multi-storey car park free of charge. 

There are other specially designated parking spaces for you at the P3 car park. 

If you use a parking space in the multi-storey car par or at the P3 car park, we recommend that you proceed as follows: 

  • Please take a parking ticket at the entrance barrier when you drive into the multi-storey car park/P3 car park. 
  • Park your vehicle at one of the designated parking spaces. 
  • When you leave Dresden Airport, please report to the Parking Service Center in the multi-storey car park or in the administration building next to P3. Once you show your blue EU parking badge and your entrance ticket, you will receive a free exit ticket that you can insert in the ticket machine at the exit barrier when you drive out. 

Short-term parking
If you only want to visit us for a short time, please use the marked parking spaces in the pick-up and drop-off lane directly in front of the terminal. Please place your blue EU parking badge for disabled people next to the windscreen so that it is clearly visible. 

Free services

The following services are free of charge if you:

  • permanently depend on a wheelchair
  • cannot climb any stairs
  • require a wheelchair for longer distances

Dresden Airport grants people with a disability a 100% discount on the parking fees when they use the car parks and the multi-storey car park. The discount is given if you show your European parking permit for disabled people (“blue parking badge”). 

Departing

Support:

  • when handing in your luggage and checking in;
  • during security and passport checks;
  • when making your way to the gate and preferential boarding on the plane.

If you would like to take your electric wheelchair with you, it must be stored in the hold as bulky luggage. It is therefore necessary for you to change into a folding wheelchair for the journey to the gate. You will then board the plane in a special wheelchair. 
If you arrive in a manual wheelchair, change into the special wheelchair just before you board the plane. Your wheelchair will then be stowed in the cargo hold.

Arriving

Support:

  • Met in or at the plane
  • Support with entry formalities
  • Accepting your luggage
  • Accompanying you to your relatives or your means of transport
  • Discounted parking rates

Please take a parking ticket when you drive into the parking area or the multi-storey car park. After your return flight, your parking ticket will be activated by the employees at the Parking Service Center in the multi-storey car park or in the administration building at the P3 car park if you show your European parking badge for disabled people.
