Connected by terminal C and three taxiway bridges (W1, E7, E8) the airport layout combines the northern part with runway 08L/26L and Apron 3 (new cargo area since 2012) and the southern part with Apron 1 (terminal B), runway 08R/26L, Apron 2, Apron 4 (DHL), Apron 5. Between both parts an airport railway station and the autobahn A14 is connecting to the check-in area of terminal C. Railway and motorway are not modelled in Flightgear.

A highway and railway lines go straight between the two runways. Three bridges connect the terminal with the northern runway. The western bridge (taxiway W1) is used in both directions. The eastern bridges (taxiways E7 and E8) are used as one way taxiways. Due to safety improvements all bridges are equipped with special taxi lights.

In Flightgear the main Terminal is modelled very slim and efficiently. 6 unmovable gateways link to park positions 126, 128, 130, 132, 134 and 136. In 2012 it will be improved.
