Eisenach-Kindel Airport (EIB/EDGE) is a regional airfield in Hörselberg-Hainich, Thuringia, about 12 km east-northeast of Eisenach. Originally a military airbase, it now handles general aviation, business traffic, and occasional charter flights rather than scheduled airline service. Its paved runway and proximity to the A4 make it a practical access point for Eisenach, the Wartburg, and the Thuringian Forest.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors check EDGE opening hours and NOTAMs before departure—outside published hours, PPR and prior fuel arrangements are often required, and the field can be very quiet.
