Heligoland Airport

Heligoland Airport

Heligoland Airport (IATA: HGL, ICAO: EDXH) is an airfield on the German island of Düne, the smaller of the two isles of the Heligoland archipelago in the North Sea, about 70 kilometres (43 mi) from the mainland.

The airport is licensed for aeroplanes up to 5,700 kilograms (12,600 lb) maximum takeoff weight and helicopters up to 10,000 kilograms (22,000 lb). Due to the limited length of the runways and adverse wind conditions, the approach to and departure from the airport is demanding, requiring experience and special preparation from pilots. For commercial flights, prior training is mandatory.

Heligoland Airport is primarily served by scheduled flights operated by OFD Ostfriesischer-Flug-Dienst and occasionally by other operators like Yourways. These airlines provide regular connections between Heligoland, an archipelago in the North Sea, and mainland Germany, particularly to airports like Heide-Büsum and Hamburg. These services are crucial for transporting residents, tourists, and goods to and from the island throughout the year.
