Location
Lahr/Schwarzwald, Germany
Lahr Airport (IATA: LHA, ICAO: EDTL) is a regional airport located near Lahr/Schwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It occupies the site of a former Canadian and French military air base that was active during the Cold War era, with the military departing in the 1990s following German reunification. The airport has since been repurposed primarily for cargo operations, charter flights, and general aviation. It serves as a secondary gateway to the Upper Rhine region and benefits from its proximity to the French border and the Black Forest area. Scheduled passenger traffic has been limited, though the airport has periodically attracted low-cost and charter operators seeking alternatives to busier regional hubs such as Baden-Baden/Karlsruhe.
