Flight operations 2026 - adjustment of IFR operating times

Dear customers,

Due to the current understaffing of tower and ground personnel, we have had to make adjustments to our flight operation times. This mainly affects IFR flight operations on single workdays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays since May 2026. On these days, operations will only be ensured under VFR conditions with an airport operator. Air traffic control and therefore full IFR operations are therefore not possible.

On single workdays, weekends and public holidays, we have to adjust our operations as follows:

Opening hours flight operations

On weekends and public holidays we have therefore adjusted our operations during our normal opening hours as follows:

Mondays - Fridays: FULL SERVICE (IFR & VFR, PPR restrictions possible, see list below)

Following overview - Status: 29.07.26:

For PPR enquiries please use our contact form or Tel. +49 (0)9292 / 977-261.

We hope that we will be able to lift the unfortunately necessary restrictions, especially for our commercial customers at weekends and on public holidays, in the course of the year.

Thank you for your understanding!
