Besides business air traffic, recreational flights are flown by members of the Vliegclub Twente, the Twentsche Zweefvliegclub and other general aviation air traffic.

However, Twente Airport is more than just flying. The runway with controlled airspace and the space and facilities around it make it an ideal location for companies that want to test their products in a protected environment. Moreover, it is a unique location for airport-related activities.

Establish

Entrepreneurs with airport-related activities have the opportunity to establish themselves at Twente Airport: in an environment with equal partners where innovation, development and pioneering are the most normal thing in the world. Twente Airport is home to Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions (AELS) and TKH Airport Solutions, among others.

Testing

Twente Airport is a unique location if you want to make use of the nearly 3 km long runway in an immense, spatial environment with controlled airspace. The innovative airport is suitable for all kinds of different tests of manned and unmanned systems. For example, NLR has conducted braking tests with an Airbus in a water tank and participants of the drone innovation cluster Space53 regularly use the runway for testing unmanned systems.

Future

Recently, opportunities have been explored to expand the airport's maintenance function. As part of this, aircraft parking areas have been created.

A robust future plan for the airport is currently being developed.
