What other pilots say about EHTX
Straightforward approach, possibly also unusually low beneath Schiphol Class A and then through the corridor. The runway is perfectly flat, and the on-field service is excellent. Bicycles can be rented from the operators; a hangar space was still available. Everyone, as has already been described several times, is extremely helpful. Only the fees are, typical for the Netherlands, rather on the high side (can be found on the website)—still an ideal destination!
Texel Airport (EHTX) is highly regarded for its exceptional service, friendly and helpful staff, and well-maintained grass runways. The airfield supports both VFR and IFR arrivals, with straightforward procedures; however, PPR by telephone is recommended to confirm field conditions, as the grass can become waterlogged. Approaches via Den Helder are standard, and Dutch Mil Info provides helpful support. Restricted areas in the vicinity may affect routing, especially on weekdays, while noise abatement procedures apply during summer weekends; see AIP/NOTAM for details.
On-site facilities include a hotel with rooms overlooking the airfield, a restaurant with terrace, a small aviation museum, and ample parking close to the tower. Bicycles and e-bikes are available in excellent condition directly at the airport, and cars can be rented through the flight office at moderate rates. Accommodation is available both on-field and within 50 meters of aircraft parking; pilots often receive assistance with bookings and transfers. Camping is possible nearby, with modern amenities.
Landing fees are generally considered medium to higher for the Netherlands but reflect the quality of service. Example: landing about €40. Parking fees may apply separately. Rental bikes and cars are available at additional but moderate cost. Fuel (Avgas, Jet A1, Mogas) is available on site.
Ground transport options include rental bikes for exploring the island’s extensive network of beaches and dunes or cars for longer trips; walking distances to accommodation can be as short as 50 meters. The island offers scenic towns, restaurants, and attractions such as Ecomare.
Texel serves as a port of entry for non-Schengen arrivals with 12 hours prior notice required; advance registration via GENDEC.EU is used for UK flights. Customs staff meet incoming flights when required.
The airport handles significant activity including parachute operations but maintains an efficient and relaxed atmosphere even during busy periods. The grass runways are consistently praised for their smoothness and quality. Overall suitability for non-commercial general aviation is excellent.
