Terminal 1 is the larger facility with 103 gates across four concourses: A (gates A1-69), B (gates B1-63), C (gates C1-20), and Z (gates Z11-69). Walking times within Terminal 1 range from 1-12 minutes to the farthest A gates, 4-10 minutes to B gates, 2-7 minutes to C gates, and up to 15 minutes to Z gates.

🔄 Connection Tips
Connecting through Stralsund–Barth Airport is unique because it primarily serves as a destination and general aviation hub rather than a transit point for scheduled commercial airlines. Most "connections" here involve transitioning from private or charter aircraft to ground transportation for travel to nearby coastal cities like Stralsund and Rostock. The airport is located just 3 kilometers south of the town of Barth and is well-connected to the regional road network via the L21 and B105 highways. For those arriving by air, the most efficient way to continue your journey is by pre-arranged taxi or rental car, both of which are readily available at the terminal. For travelers who need to connect to Germany's national rail system, the Barth railway station is a short 5-minute drive from the airport, offering regular regional services to Velgast, where you can catch Intercity (IC) trains to major cities like Hamburg and Berlin. It is recommended to coordinate your train schedule with your flight arrival, as regional services can vary in frequency. For those traveling to the island of Rügen or the Darß peninsula, the airport offers a bicycle rental service right at the terminal, providing a scenic and eco-friendly way to explore the surrounding national parks and coastal landscapes. There is no public bus service directly to the terminal building, so travelers should prioritize booking a taxi in advance, especially during the peak summer tourist season from June to August. For those arriving from international destinations outside the Schengen Area, it is essential to notify the airport at least 24 hours in advance to ensure that customs and immigration officers are present for your arrival.
