What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Texel International Airport (EHTX) in De Cocksdorp, NL, is widely regarded by pilots and visitors as a highly positive and welcoming destination, often hailed as "the friendliest airfield in the Netherlands". Traveler sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, focusing on the airport's charming atmosphere and helpful staff, rather than typical commercial airport experiences.

What Travelers Love

Friendly Atmosphere and Staff: Pilots consistently praise the easy-going atmosphere and the helpfulness of the airfield managers and staff.
Good Facilities and Amenities: The airport offers various amenities including restaurants (such as Restaurant Kooger and De Vlijt Texel Airport Restaurant), on-site or adjacent accommodation (Hotel De Vlijt and Boutique Hotel Texel), and a Texel Aviation and War Museum. Fuel (AVGAS, JET A-1, Mogas) is also available.
Excellent for General Aviation and Recreation: The airport is a popular spot for small piston engine aircraft, turboprops, and even small jets, with one of Europe's longest and strongest grass runways. It's a hub for skydiving and offers unique experiences like electric flying lessons.
Efficient Customs Service: As an Airport of Entry, EHTX provides customs services during operational hours for international general aviation flights. While there are no scheduled international commercial flights, the process for private pilots appears straightforward.
Convenient On-site Parking and Local Transport: Parking is available directly in front of the main building. For exploring the island, visitors can rent bikes or a Renault Twizy at the airport.

Common Complaints

Not a Commercial Passenger Airport: The primary "complaint" or clarification often needed is that Texel International Airport does not handle scheduled commercial passenger flights, meaning traditional security wait times or immigration lines are not applicable. Information on typical "terminal facilities" is scarce as it operates more like a general aviation field.
Island-wide Paid Parking: While parking is available at the airport, visitors exploring the wider island of Texel will encounter paid parking in all villages and at beach access points, requiring an e-vignette or hourly payment.

Texel International Airport offers a distinctive and highly enjoyable experience for general aviation pilots and those seeking recreational flying activities. Its welcoming environment, useful on-site amenities, and scenic island location make it a cherished destination within the Dutch aviation community.
