🇩🇪 Rügen Airport

Rügen Airport (EDCG (GTI)) is a small commercial airfield located in Dreschvitz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, on the island of Rügen. It is the sole airfield on the island and is situated approximately 8 kilometers south of Bergen, adjacent to the B 96 federal road.

The airport features a single asphalt runway, designated 09/27, which is 900 meters (2,953 ft) long and 18 meters (66 ft) wide, with an elevation of 69 feet (21 meters) above mean sea level. Use of the runway is restricted to aircraft with a maximum weight of 5.7 tonnes and it supports night-time operations.

Rügen Airport primarily serves general and private aviation, offering activities such as flying lessons and skydiving. While it facilitates charter flights, it does not have scheduled commercial passenger service. The facility provides AVGAS and Jet A1 fuel and offers customs services on request.

Historically, the airfield opened in 1982. The original grass airstrip was replaced with a tarmac runway in May 1993, and further developments in the mid-to-late 1990s included the addition of a hangar, PAPI landing lights, and a new terminal building with a tower and restaurant.
