History

The airport was created in 1916 by the Germans during the First World War.

In 2022 the airport attracted media attention after Zara Rutherford became the youngest woman to fly across the Earth solo. She both started and finished the program on the airport's grounds.[2]

Features

There is a passenger terminal with police and customs on demand.

The airport runway is 1,900 m × 45 m (6,234 ft × 148 ft).[1] Alongside a section of the airport is a business park, some of which is restricted to enterprises undertaking airport related activities: several of the business park tenants have paid for direct private access to the runway. The aerodrome used to offer IFR ("instrument" or "blind flying") procedures, but as of June 2017 these had been withdrawn from the AIP. In 2019, an RNAV approach, GNSS based, is given in the AIP.

Uses

It is used mainly as a business airport. One of the main users of this airport is Abelag Aviation, though it is also used by flying clubs and schools. According to its official website, around 100,000 passengers used the airport every year.[3]
