Pilot Comments for EDHL
Markus
Great airport with a beautifully scenic approach when arriving from the south. Straightforward. The airport had very little traffic in April this year. However, I was informed that scheduled airline operations are expected to resume soon. Exercise caution on the apron, as planespotters are walking around and taking photos without asking. Security screening through the X-ray machines via the GAT terminal is quick. Airport staff are friendly, and landing and parking fees were reasonable. It’s a 6-minute walk to the train to Lübeck city center, which runs very regularly—I believe every 30 minutes. Happy to come back.

I used EDHL as an airfield for VFRN practice this spring. EDHL has reasonable opening hours and is highly accommodating to VFR Pilots. The landing fees are low for a towered airport and you can train the full suite of CTR operations without the hassle of a very busy airport.
If you plan to stay overnight in Lubeck (highly recommended), public transport is available and will get you to the center in about 15min.
There is a pilot lounge available with a coffee machine. No handling etc. required, very straightforward operations on the ground.

Unfortunately, the asphalt parking areas on the apron are poorly managed. Anyone arriving in a single-engine (no matter what) will usually have to park on the grass if staying more than 15 minutes, even when you explicitly request asphalt from TWR. If you have a twin (with huge wheels and no wheel fairings!), you are allowed to use one of the few asphalt stands. That’s a pity. The only positive is that the grass area has really good drainage—so even after days of rain the surface remains firm and there’s no standing water. So it’s not too bad and you can be at ease. Fuel (BP) is still too expensive. Otherwise, operationally everything is fine. The whole security fuss is typical for small German airports with scheduled service. Directly opposite the airport parking lot is the restaurant Fliegerhorst (formerly "Zum Bruchpiloten"); very old-school, but it serves very good home-style food and a proper currywurst. Unfortunately, opening hours are somewhat limited.

EDHL (Lübeck) is a controlled airport with both VFR and IFR operations, offering ILS approaches. Controllers and ground staff are generally described as professional and friendly, though some reports mention occasional unclear instructions or less accommodating attitudes. Warnvests are mandatory when walking on the apron, even for short distances. Low approach fees apply (about €20 per approach including tax), and a surcharge may be levied for aircraft data queries if not provided in advance.
Landing fees for typical GA aircraft since 2021 range from about €20 to €30, with parking on grass or hard surfaces incurring additional charges. Parking fees are typically about €10–€20 per night on grass, with hangarage available from around €30 per night; each day is charged separately. Example: landing and one night parking about €45; another example: landing and two nights about €50. Short stays beyond 30 minutes may trigger extra parking charges. Some pilots consider the combined fees high for the level of service.
Fuel (Avgas, UL91, Jet A1) is available via BP card or staff assistance; procedures can be strict regarding fuel types and documentation, especially for UL91. Self-service is possible with BP card; otherwise, staff assistance may be required. No Mogas is available, and bringing fuel in cans is not permitted.
Facilities include a modern terminal, pilot lounge with free coffee, and WiFi in the hall. The airport is well connected to Lübeck city: bus line 6 runs every 30 minutes to the center (about 25–30 minutes), and a train station is within 5–10 minutes’ walk from the terminal. Taxis are available but may require waiting or advance booking; car sharing via App2Drive operates on site.
Procedures require payment of fees at the terminal before departure; security checks apply when returning to the aircraft. High-visibility vests are compulsory airside. Some reports note that low approaches incur separate fees and that procedures can be complex if aircraft data are not pre-registered.
Customs/police can be arranged by advance email request; no specific contact details provided.
Overall, EDHL offers good infrastructure and access to Lübeck city but charges for both landing and parking can add up quickly, especially for short stops or multiple days. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM for operational details.
