Observation Deck E is located at Dock E and is open to passengers all year round. For your event, the terrace will be made exclusively available to you. Located between the three runways, it offers a spectacular view of flight movements. A highlight is the world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, which is handled directly below the terrace. Observation Deck E is ideal for flying dinners with speeches or, in fine weather, it can become the perfect lounge and bar.

Observation Deck E is located in the middle of flight operations. To access the deck, guests must pass through security. All participants are required to carry identification and are escorted to the event by airport staff.
