History

Aerial view

The airport was opened in 1955 with a single grass runway. It proved popular, and by 1957 was already seeing 37,000 movements a year. An asphalt runway was constructed in 1966 and by 1977 the number of movements had increased to 126,000 a year. In 2007, about 77,000 movements were made, making it the busiest airport for general aviation in Germany.

In 2004, to allow for larger aircraft to land, construction was started on a runway expansion, which increased the runway length to its current 1,400 metres (4,600 ft). In May 2009, NetJets Europe announced that they intended to purchase the airport.

Today NetJets owns 80% of the aerodrome (the other 20% being owned by the local authorities of Egelsbach and Langen) and intends to establish IFR procedures at the airport, including an ILS approach. There are also plans to extend the runway by another 270 metres (890 ft) and to increase the width by 5 metres (16 ft).[2]

Facilities

The airport resides at an elevation of 385 feet (117 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways, both in the 08/26 direction (thought number left (L) or right (R) markings or indicators are used): a 1,400 by 25 metres (4,593 ft × 82 ft) asphalt runway and a 670 by 30 metres (2,198 ft × 98 ft) grass runway.
