Airport Strasbourg Entzheim (LFST)

LFST is accessible for general aviation with no mandatory handling for most flights; advance notification by email is typically required, mainly for administrative purposes, and can be sent to sxb.executive@aviapartner.aero or mp.esslinger@strasbourg.aeroport.fr. Handling is not enforced if declined in advance, and no one will meet the aircraft unless services are requested. Landing and parking fees for a day typically range around €45–€50, with a 2024 example of €46 and a two-night stay example about €60. Fees are invoiced by post or email and paid by bank transfer or cheque; on-site payment is generally not available.

IFR and VFR arrivals are straightforward, with clear English on the radio and efficient ATC. Both ILS and vectoring are available, and circuit entry is uncomplicated. No PPR is generally required except during periods of airport works or as per NOTAM; procedures may vary, so check AIP/NOTAM. No hi-vis vest requirement on the apron is noted.

GA parking is on Apron B near a small GA terminal building with basic facilities (bathroom). Entry and exit use a remotely controlled door: pilots hold their license up to a camera, security verifies documents, then opens the door. The process is quick but requires having license and passport at hand. Customs/immigration may require visiting the main terminal even if requested in advance; always carry documents when leaving airside.

AVGAS (100LL) and Jet A are available via fuel truck (Shell), typically arriving within 10–15 minutes after request; payment can be made directly at the truck by card or carnet. No self-service refueling exists.

Ground transport options include a train station at the main terminal (1–15 minutes’ walk from GA apron depending on route), with trains to Strasbourg central in about 8–10 minutes; tickets cost €3–€5. An on-demand Flex’hop bus stop (“Entzheim Caravelle”) is 250 m from the GA exit, connecting to tram lines; availability may be limited during busy periods. Taxis to the city center cost €25–€50 depending on provider.

Car hire (Europcar) offers key drop at the GA terminal. The main terminal restaurant is accessible within 10–15 minutes’ walk from GA parking.

LFST offers efficient operations, friendly staff, reliable fuel service, good public transport links to Strasbourg city center, and manageable fees for non-commercial general aviation flights.
