Frankfurt Airport introduces retail experience for upcoming Terminal 3

Frankfurt Airport has revealed a bold retail vision for its soon-to-open Terminal 3, introducing a marketplace-focused shopping experience that claims to “set new standards for airport retail in Europe”. 

The 64-outlet retail concept is a key element of Frankfurt’s €4 billion Terminal 3 project, with the first phase expected to boost the airport’s capacity by 19 million passengers annually when it opens ahead of summer 2026.

Spanning 12,000 square meters, the retail space will be distinguished by a central marketplace concept, and feature 64 retail and service units, including 15 flagship stores, a bar and two food courts with seating for nearly 1,000 guests beneath an architecturally striking ceiling design.
