Pilot Comments for EDDR
Robbie
Initially planned with OCC@scn-airport.de via email sa fuel stop with clearing customs before a flight to the UK. Was informed operations are HOURS AD and this was possible. Changed plans due to severe weather across Europe and TSRA in the London TMA to a further fuel stop in Le Touquet. No issues.I was stuck on the ground for 1hr due to weather and was allowed to use the crew room a short walk from the OCC to replan/DLA flight plan to LFAT. Refuel with Shell, is pretty expensive at 3.15EUR a litre.Landing fee, and the GAT facilities (recreation room and briefing room). The usage fee per person for a stay of up to four hours is EUR 15.00. and a NOX fee of 3EUR.Total for stop 35.70 EUR incl VAT

On Sunday, IFR inbound from the UK. SEP; MTOW 1497 kg. No customs notification required. Everything very efficient and customer-friendly. The marshaller called the fuel truck, which was on site within minutes. Very quick fuel stop. Happy to return.

EDDR is suitable for both VFR and IFR operations, with no slot requirement and customs/border police available during published hours; advance notice is generally not needed for customs, but confirmation via occ@scn-airport.de is possible. ATC is consistently described as professional and helpful, providing useful weather updates and flexible approach clearances. The airport handles both Schengen and non-Schengen flights efficiently, with border police meeting aircraft when required.
Landing fees for non-commercial GA typically comprise separate charges for landing, noise, emissions, and parking. For a 1630 kg aircraft, recent examples show landing about €20, noise about €20, emissions about €5, and parking about €10 (all rounded up and excluding VAT), plus a DFS ATC charge invoiced separately. Short stops under two hours can be around €50–70 total including all fees. Example: landing, noise, emissions, and parking about €60 (excluding DFS charge). Parking overnight or for multiple days increases the total fee; one example for two nights parking is about €70. Use of the crew/briefing room incurs an extra fee of about €15 per person for up to four hours.
AVGAS and Jet A1 are available; fuel service is generally prompt but may require a short wait. Payment for fuel and fees is made in the C-office airside; Air BP card is accepted. Fuel prices are volatile and relatively high compared to some other airports.
Tie-downs are available on paved surfaces only; there is no grass parking or tie-downs—pilots should bring chocks as needed. Walking across the GA apron is permitted. The main terminal offers a snack bar or café; sandwiches and coffee are available.
Ground transport options include the R10 bus to Saarbrücken city center (about 20 minutes), running hourly on weekdays but less frequently on Sundays (every three hours). The bus stop is directly in front of the terminal; fare is around €3 per person. Taxis are available but relatively expensive—about €40–50 for the same journey.
Security procedures require pilots to exit via a turnstile on the west side of the GAT or through the main terminal; passengers may need to use different exits depending on security arrangements. Some reports mention security checks as strict or inefficient, while others describe them as smooth.
No PPR is required except during certain weekend hours or special circumstances (see AIP/NOTAM). Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
Overall, EDDR provides efficient handling for GA flights with full customs availability, professional ATC, paved tie-downs only, reliable fuel service, straightforward ground transport options, and moderate-to-high total fees depending on duration of stay and services used.
