Erfurt (ERF): tram line 4 to Anger, running almost all night
Three stop posts called Erfurt, Flughafen / Airport sit by the terminal. Line 4 serves them with about 1560 scheduled calls, from 00:05 to 23:51.
- Three stop posts named Erfurt, Flughafen / Airport sit about 560 to 630 metres from the runway reference point.
- Line 4 is the service, with about 1560 scheduled calls in the published timetable.
- Departures are logged from 00:05 to 23:51, which means effectively continuous coverage.
- The city end is Erfurt, Anger, the central square and the main tram interchange.
- Bindersleben is the district the airport is in, and the line is named for it.
- Erfurt Hauptbahnhof is on the high-speed line between Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt, so the tram connects the airport to fast trains.
- Nearby stops include Am Rosenberg, Grosse Schenkgasse, Buropark / Airfurt and Orionstrasse.
- The airport is small, with mostly holiday charter traffic, but the transport connection is unusually good for its size.

Why that matters
- Erfurt Hauptbahnhof is a major stop on the German high-speed network, on the Berlin to Munich line and the link west to Frankfurt.
- A tram from the terminal to the trams' central interchange, then a short hop to the station, makes this a genuinely rail-connected airport.
