Norderney Airport Guide
Norderney Airport (ICAO: EDWY) is a small airfield on the East Frisian island of Norderney, in the Wadden Sea off the Lower Saxony coast. It sits about 4.5 km east of the island's main town, next to the Norderney lighthouse. There is no rail line on the island, so visitors arrive by road from the town.
The airfield is licensed as a Verkehrslandeplatz, a general aviation landing ground. It has a single asphalt runway, 08/26, measuring 1,000 m by 20 m, on a site of roughly 30 hectares. Permitted traffic includes motor gliders, powered aircraft up to 5,700 kg, ultralight aircraft and helicopters up to 10,000 kg.
Flughafen Norderney GmbH operates the field, and the terminal building opened with the airport in 1970. Traffic peaked at close to 40,000 passengers a year in the early 1990s. By 2022 the airfield handled 6,385 passengers and 9,696 aircraft movements. As of 1 March 2025 no regular commercial passenger flights serve the island, so travellers who want to fly in should check with the operator before planning a trip.
