Breda International Airport (Шаблон:Lang-nl Шаблон:Airport codes) is a small general aviation airfield located next to the A58 motorway on the outskirts of Bosschenhoofd, a village in the municipality of Halderberge in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. It is located Шаблон:Convert southwest of Hoeven,[1] Шаблон:Convert west from Breda and Шаблон:Convert east-northeast of Roosendaal.[2]

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 06/24 (previously 07/25), with a length of Шаблон:Convert and a significantly displaced threshold (meaning an area at the beginning of the runway that is not to be used for landing) on either side.

Originally called Seppe Airport (after the nickname of Bosschenhoofd), the airport started in 1949 as a glider field and has been used by powered aircraft since 1969. In 2002, the grass runway surface was replaced with asphalt. The airfield is not used by aircraft using jet engines. Around 50,000 airplane movements (take-offs or landings) are made at Seppe annually. In February 2014, it was announced that the name of the airport would be changed to Breda International Airport.[3] The airport was officially renamed on 1 January 2015.

The airfield is also home to a small flying museum, Vliegend Museum Seppe (The Flying Museum of Seppe), displaying various aircraft, most of which are still airworthy, including two de Havilland Tiger Moths, a Boeing Stearman and a Yakovlev Yak-52.

The airfield additionally houses Aviation Performance Solutions, an aviation training company specializing in Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT).[4]
