What other pilots say about EDXB
Great airfield in direct proximity to the North Sea and the resort town of Büsum. From October onwards, this is the first airfield in Schleswig-Holstein that licensed to be operated without statt ("Fliegen ohne Betriebsleiter"). Bicycles are available to rent for free and it is a quick ride into town or to the coast (ca 3 km). Great base if you have a few days to spare and want to explore some nearby islands (just a short hop to Helgoland, for example). The restaurant is currently closed until a new tenant is found.
EDXB is a well-maintained airfield near the North Sea, centrally located about 5 minutes from Büsum’s harbor. The runway and taxiways are in very good condition, with tie-down rings available due to frequent windy weather. The approach is generally clear, though numerous wind turbines north of the runway (up to 687 ft) require attention; downwind is at 800 ft. The airfield operates PPR during winter time but is often open, and procedures are relaxed with helpful ground staff.
Avgas, SuperPlus, and Mogas are available on site; Jet A1 is only for contract partners. Fuel prices are described as moderate to high compared to nearby fields. Free bicycles in good condition are provided for trips into Büsum or to the beach (about 4 km or 20 minutes by bike), and scooters or small rental cars (Smart) are available at low rates. Camping under the wing is permitted, with an outdoor shower provided, and overnight hangar parking is possible when space allows.
A bistro at the airfield operates daily from 11:00–20:00 during summer; at times in the past, the restaurant has been closed or changed operators, but food and drink options are generally available either on site or in Büsum. Accommodation in Büsum is easy to find, with several hotels recommended by pilots.
Service at EDXB is consistently described as friendly and supportive, with staff assisting with technical issues, accommodation arrangements, and transport bookings (taxi numbers: 04834/3333 or 04834/8888). Facilities include free WiFi and tools for minor maintenance. Example: landing fee about €30 for MTOW up to 1400 kg including three nights’ parking.
EDXB offers a welcoming atmosphere for general aviation pilots seeking access to the North Sea coast and nearby islands.
