Trier-Föhren Airfield (German: Flugplatz Trier-Föhren) (ICAO: EDRT) serves Trier, a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is located in Föhren, 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9 mi) northeast of Trier and approximately 340 miles (547 km) southwest of Berlin. The airfield supports general aviation, with no commercial airline service available. Charter services and a full selection of amenities are available.
The current field is a recent facility, opened in 1977, built about 18 km from the site of the historic Trier Airfield built in the early 20th century.
History
Trier-Föhren Airfield was built from scratch to replace the old Trier Airfield in the 1970s. It is next to the village of Föhren. A French army garrison formerly at Trier Airfield also moved to Föhren until it was disbanded in the 1990s. Since then, the "Industriepark Region Trier" was developed on its former site.
Facilities
The airfield resides at an elevation of 665 feet (203 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 05/23 with a concrete surface measuring 1,200 by 30 metres (3,937 ft × 98 ft).
