EDDL - Tower

Düsseldorf Tower is responsible for the runway system and traffic within the Düsseldorf CTR.

Runway Usage

The aerodrome has 2 main operating modes:

Single Runway Operations:

During single runway operations, the southern runway is used for all departures and arrivals, with the exception that VFR aircraft inside the traffic circuit can be allowed to use the northern runway to allow a more efficient flow between IFR flights and VFR traffic.

Parallel Runway Operations

During parallel runway operations, the southern runway is used for departures, while the northern runway is used for all arrivals. This configuration should beused when traffic volume exceeds (or will exceed) the capacity of single runway operations, as it allows for tighter inbound spacing and increased overall throughput.
