Cologne/Bonn Airport station (German: Bahnhof Köln/Bonn Flughafen) is a station at Cologne Bonn Airport in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It was built as part of the Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed rail line and opened in June 2004 on the approximately 15-kilometre-long (9.3 mi) Cologne Airport loop line. It is served by Intercity-Express (ICE), Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn and regional services.[5]

The Cologne Bonn airport was the third German airport to have a connection to the ICE network after Frankfurt Airport and Düsseldorf Airport.

The approximately 420 m (1,380 ft)-long and 40 m (130 ft)-wide underground station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station.[3] The four platform tracks are located 18 m (59 ft) below the surface.[6]

In 2002, the projected construction cost of the station stood at €58.3 million.[7] It was funded by the federal government, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Cologne Bonn Airport. In total, the federal government contributed approximately €255 million to the construction costs of the airport loop and station.[8]
