The Lübeck–Lüneburg railway runs close to the currently unused Lübeck Airport. The opening of the station has improved the accessibility of the airport; the trip from Lübeck Hauptbahnhof has decreased from some 30 minutes by bus to less than ten minutes.
The installation of a lift to the bridge running above the platform has significantly shortened the route to the airport. The lift took over two years to complete.
