The centenary year of Stuttgart Airport's operating company culminates in a ceremony with around 700 guests from politics, aviation, business and sport in an aircraft hangar. From its beginnings in 1924 on the Cannstatter Wasen via the airfield in Böblingen to Stuttgart International Airport, STR has come a long way and developed into an important transport hub. "As a hub, Stuttgart Airport today stands for cosmopolitanism, internationality and cooperation across borders and continents. And for an exporting state like Baden-Württemberg, the airport is an important gateway to prosperity," says Minister President Winfried Kretschmann.
