Military/Civil Airfield Eindhoven (EHEH) IFR

Eindhoven (EHEH) is a military airfield with significant airline traffic and limited tolerance for general aviation. Prior permission (PPR) and slot coordination are required, with the process handled via the airport website and a mandatory account setup. Handling is compulsory, with weekend minimums higher than weekdays. Fees are consistently described as very high, with examples including a PPR fee about €440 and total charges for landing, parking, and handling quickly reaching about €600. Another example: landing fee about €70, weekday handling minimum about €100, weekend minimum about €200. Handling for aircraft under 3 t is about €90 plus additional landing and passenger fees.

Payment for fuel may be restricted to cash or specific fuel cards; credit cards are not always accepted despite prior confirmation, and cash must be in notes of €50 or less. Lounge facilities offer complimentary drinks and snacks. Communication with ATC can be challenging at times, with reports of poor clarity and inconsistent coordination between Tower and Approach.

Eindhoven is generally considered unfriendly to general aviation, with alternatives such as Budel (EHBD) recommended for lower costs and more welcoming service. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
