Frankfurt Hahn Airport [German: Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn] is an international aviation facility located in central western
Germany. Despite its name, the airport is situated some 120 km west of Frankfurt and some 90 kilometres west of Wiesbaden.
The airport was originally the Hahn Air Base of the United States Air Force, and was converted to a civil airport after outliving
its usefulness as a military base. Although it handles international flights, Hahn airport does not have the word "International"
as part of its name - in order to avoid confusion with the more heavily used Frankfurt International Airport. As airport charges
to operators are low because of its remote location, Frankfurt-Hahn is very popular with low-cost airlines like Ryanair, which uses
it as one of its principal hubs.
By bus: There are buses (ORN-airport-shuttle) every 1 or 2 hours between Frankfurt Hahn Airport (bus terminal stop 1 infront of the terminal building) and the main railway station in Mainz. The bus journey to Mainz takes 70 minutes. Tickets
are available on the bus (The FILTECH public transport ticket is not valid for this bus) From Mainz to Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof
(Central Station) we recommend S-Bahn service S8 (The FILTECH public transport ticket is valid for regional trains from Mainz to
Wiesbaden). This line departs every 30 minutes from platform 1a inside the main railway station on street level. The journey takes
another 15 minutes. Please select tariff zone 65/6500 on the RMV ticket machine for Wiesbaden. In total it will take at approx. 2
hours (!) to get to Wiesbaden Central Station.
