The federal government provided €14.6 million towards the construction of Düsseldorf Airport station.[7] It was inaugurated on 26 May 2000, in the presence of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Premier of North Rhine-Westphalia, Wolfgang Clement.[8] The station cost DM 125 million to build and went into operation on 28 May 2000.[9]
On 1 July 2002, the SkyTrain was opened. The track is 2.5 km (1.6 mi) long and 23 m (75 ft) high. After the commissioning of the SkyTrain had been delayed by a year due to software problems, the train stopped operations six times in the first two weeks of public operations and was then closed to 26 August.[10]
