Airport transfer services


Explanation:
I think this works for companies who bring customers to the airport as well as services inside the airport.

neutral  Thomas Pfann: In diesem Fall vermutlich ja, aber im Ausgangstext sollte es dann eigentlich 'Zubringerflug' heißen, oder? Denn ein 'Flugzubringer' wäre ja durchaus einfach ein beliebiges Verkehrsmittel (Taxi, Bahn, Bus usw.), das einen zum Flughafen bringt.

given the next question posted, I would suggest to indeed check wether the "Zubringer" is done on the ground or per flight!

disagree  Cetacea: A "Flugzubringer" has nothing to do with ground transportation. Airport shuttle in German (well, sort of...) would be "Flughafenshuttle"

neutral  Thomas Pfann: Ja, hier muss wohl nachgefragt werden, was genau gemeint ist. Im Prinzip hast du aber Recht, denn ein 'Flugzubringer' ist etwas anderes als ein 'Zubringerflug' (ich denke, die beiden Dinge wurden hier im Ausgangstext durcheinander gebracht).

Explanation:
Hi!
Hope I'm not too late.

Flugzubringer=Airport shuttle: There are these shuttle services for on ground transportation, partly even from door to door. This can (and usually is) in form of a bus.

Zubringerflug=Air shuttle: These are flights bringing in people via aircraft transportation to another airport.



Example sentence(s):
  • Airport shuttle service and other ground transportation to i.e. ... airport
