With approximately 12.4 million passengers passing through it in 2017, it is the seventh-largest passenger airport in Germany and the third-largest in terms of cargo operations. By traffic units, which combines cargo and passengers, the airport is in fifth position in Germany.^[5] As of March 2015, Cologne Bonn Airport had services to 115 passenger destinations in 35 countries.^[6] The airport is named after Cologne native Konrad Adenauer, the first post-war Chancellor of West Germany.
