Improving traveler flows and service while keeping safe borders represented the joint aim of establishing the new ABC-Gates. Commuters traveling to Non-Schengen and arriving from Non-Schengen countries can benefit from the reduced processing time and the modern, spacious area. Approximately 20% of the travelers flying from and to Luxembourg Airport enter or exit via the border control. Moreover, this number might increase because of the addition of new destinations, like Ra's al-Chaima, in the United Arab Emirates operated by Luxair from 2018. Increasing the number of border control lanes addresses the increasing demand. With the implementation of the automated border control gates, we followed our shared goal to increase the service to the commuters while maintaining our safe borders.

Terminal A Built-in 1975, the building represented the only terminal of the facility for 30 years, until terminal B opened in 2004. The building was getting overcrowded, especially during the summer period, and only included two or three shops. The terminal started to be demolished at the end of 2011 and was finished by March 2012. This measure was aimed to make way for a footbridge connecting terminal B to the new terminal A. Establishment of the new Terminal A began in 2005 and was inaugurated in May 2008. Terminal B Terminal B opened in 2004. The building is unique as it only contains gates and no arrivals hall or check-in counters. It was constructed for small planes with a maximum capacity of 50 people. The terminal can handle up to 600,000 commuters a year. The facility reopened in 2017 after some arrangements to handle aircraft with a capacity of up to 80 travelers. Luxair's Q400 fleet mostly uses it.

Luxembourg Airport represents the main airport in Luxembourg. Previously known as Luxembourg Findel Airport because of its site at Findel, the facility is an only international airport in Luxembourg. It is the only airport in the country which includes a paved runway. The property is located approximately four miles (6.02 kilometers) east of Luxembourg City. In 2018, the facility handled more than four million passengers. By cargo tonnage, LUX was ranked as fifth-busiest in Europe and the world's 28th-busiest in 2010. Luxair, international airline in Luxembourg, and cargo airline Cargolux have their head offices within the airport property.
The airport, known initially as "Sandweiler Airport," was opened in the 1930s, and initially included a small grass airfield with a short, 3,400 ft (1,000 m) runway.
Germany invaded neutral Luxembourg in 1940, and on May 21, the Luftwaffe assigned Jagdgeschwader 53 (J.G. 53), a Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter unit, to the facility. J.G. 53 was engaged in combat against the British and French Expeditionary Force in France throughout the Battle of France in May and June. Sandweiler Airport then stayed unused in the following years by the Luftwaffe until 1944, when Aufklärungsgruppe 123, a reconnaissance unit that used to operate the Henschel Hs 126, a two-seat observation and reconnaissance aircraft, was assigned to the property. AKG 123 moved east into Germany after only a few days when the U.S. Army moved through Luxembourg and released the country of the occupying German forces.
Luxembourg Airport has constructed a high-security area available far away from most airport activities for attracting the business of transporting valuable items like art and jewels. Due to the record provided by Hiscox, there is a "massive demand" for such a hub for precious cargo. Planes taxi away from the main airport facilities before loading. In 2015, the airline with the most significant share of the airport's total commuter volume was still Luxair, with 1.69 million travelers at a 63% share.
