International Airport Rotterdam (EHRD)

Very easy to book mandatory handling through Vliegclub Rotterdam at https://www.vliegclubrotterdam.nl/handling. Any parking over 6 hours is charged, landing + handling for an SR22T of 1540 kg is c. EUR 75 (no passenger fees), parking is EUR 22 per day as of Dec 2025. For non Schengen flights, they will arrange for Customs to meet you at the Vliegclub, both inbound and outbound, very easy process but do make sure you have a (digital) copy of your GenDec (UK GAR) with you as they'll ask for it. Note that you'll get a Eurocontrol bill of c. EUR 22 sent to your address as well.

ATC is friendly and helpful, I've often managed to slot in practice instrument approaches and holdings for training. The VFR procedures are easy to adhere to with SkyDemon or other EFBs, but have a good look at the 3 different entry/exit routes and altitudes.

There's a few bus lines going to Rotterdam Central, bus 33 is one of them, 30 mins in centre of R'dam. Love this airport - great stop over for rest of Europe as well.
