Sea-Airport Cuxhaven/Nordholz (IATA: FCN, ICAO: ETMN) is a joint public and military airport serving Cuxhaven and Northern Germany. It is mainly used for general aviation and cargo traffic as the international seaports of Cuxhaven and Bremerhaven are only a few minutes away.

History

Nordholz is one of the oldest airports in Germany, dating to 17 December 1912. Construction of the airport installations started a year later and was finished in 1914. Until 2016 it was in military use. For the naval airbase, see Nordholz Naval Airbase.

In order to replace Bremerhaven-Luneort Airport effective February 2016 a new Sea-Airpark Cuxhaven/Nordholz was established with an area of up to more than 40ha / 100 acres for industrial or commercial investments offers direct airfield-access and targets aviation-affine as well as other companies looking for cost-effective and clever solutions. The Sea-Airpark is open for a variety of investment-projects dealing with logistics, industrial production, service-facilities or aircraft maintenance.

In November 2016, Germania announced seasonal flights to Palma de Mallorca beginning in September 2017.

Facilities

The airport operates a runway with 2.439m x 45m and two 275m overruns. At this time there seems to be a small General Aviation terminal on the South East side, also to be used for scheduled and charter flights. On the other (North West) side of the airport there is Flugplatz Nordholz-Spieka used for private aviation featuring a 875x30m grass runway.
