Common Complaints

Lack of Commercial Passenger Facilities: As a non-commercial airfield, Großenhain lacks typical terminal facilities, security checkpoints, and customs/immigration services found at larger airports. It is not an "Airport of Entry".
Limited Public Information on Amenities: Detailed information regarding parking locations, aircraft spot accommodation, and ground logistics is often not publicly available, sometimes listed as "Premium" information in aviation databases.
Uncertain Future of Flight Operations: A declaration of intent was signed in December 2022 to discontinue flight operations to develop an industrial area on the site, raising concerns for the airfield's long-term future, despite local opposition.

Overall, Großenhain Airfield offers a unique and appreciated experience for the aviation community and those interested in historical aircraft. However, traditional commercial travelers will find it lacking the services and infrastructure of a typical passenger airport.
