[[Lufthansa]] began legal proceedings against Ryanair in 2002, claiming the usage of "Frankfurt" in the name to be [[false advertising]]. Ryanair was allowed to keep the name but was forced to clarify in its advertising that the airport is actually 120 kilometers (75 miles) by road from Frankfurt.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.irishtimes.com/business/court-rules-ryanair-misled-customers-1.1054386 | title=Court rules Ryanair misled customers | first=Derek | last=Scally | newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] | date=20 March 2002}}</ref> In March 2023, the new owners, Triwo, changed the name to "Hahn Airport".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-29 |title=Triwo schaut positiv in die Zukunft |url=https://www.aerointernational.de/aviation-nachrichten/masterplan-2024-triwo-chef-sieht-flughafen-hahn-auf-gutem-weg.html |access-date=2024-12-15 |website=AERO International |language=de-DE}}</ref>
