Civil Airfield St. Peter Ording (EDXO)

EDXO is easy to find and approach, with a well-maintained asphalt runway and generally obstacle-free surroundings. The airfield is known for its friendly, helpful staff and efficient service. Payment for landing, parking, and fuel is possible via Aerops. Tie-down points are available, though their spacing may require longer ropes for aircraft with larger wingspans. The airfield operates PPR during certain periods; PPR fees of about €100 for arrival and departure have been charged in some cases. Example: PPR fee about €100.

Landing fees are described as moderate or inexpensive in most reports, with examples ranging from about €8 to €20. Example: landing fee about €20. Parking is available directly at the terminal, with overnight parking mentioned but not detailed.

Fuel (Avgas) is available at competitive prices; Jet A1 is only available to regular customers. The self-service fuel station is activated by the tower. Bicycles are generally available at the airfield, sometimes free or for a small fee or donation; however, some reports mention higher rental charges up to about €40, while others describe them as free or inexpensive. Taxi rides to the town or beach take 10–15 minutes and cost around €10–€20.

The on-field restaurant has a good reputation for quality and atmosphere but may occasionally be closed for private events. Facilities are described as clean and recently renovated, with modern sanitary areas and WiFi (though access details may not always be readily available). The town of St. Peter-Ording and the beach are accessible by bicycle in 10–25 minutes; a local tourist tax applies at the beach.

The circuit is straightforward due to minimal obstacles, but strong or gusty crosswinds are common given the prevailing winds and runway orientation. R-areas should be checked when approaching from the south. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.

Customs clearance is not required for arrivals from Switzerland following changes in regulations.

EDXO offers a welcoming environment with good facilities, efficient ground handling, and convenient access to the town and beach, making it suitable for general aviation visits.
