Twente Airport
Twente Airport is part of Technology Base, which puts Europe and the rest of the world within easy reach for international businesses. Flying by private jet or a charter flight saves time and boosts effectiveness. But travel convenience is not the only benefit Twente Airport offers; the facilities and sheer expanse of space alongside the runway mean that Twente Airport is an excellent test site for companies on a quest for innovation. Moreover, it is a unique base for any aviation-related business.
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.
