Cottbus-Drewitz Airport Шаблон:Airport codes was a former civilian airport located in Drewitz, an Ortsteil of Jänschwalde, approximately Шаблон:Convert north-east of Cottbus in Brandenburg, Germany.

History

During World War II Cottbus-Drewitz Airport was used by the Luftwaffe and from 1956 by the National People's Army. Upon German reunification in 1990, the Luftwaffe officially took over the airport once again but after 1993, the airport's new owners, Flughafen Süd-Brandenburg-Cottbus GmbH, had opened it up for civilian use. In April 2000 a new control tower was opened.

The airport is most often used for charter flights for the football team FC Energie Cottbus, but is also used for training flights by TUIfly, Lufthansa and Germania.

In late May 2012, a grass strip at the airport was used to conduct unpaved runway trials of the Airbus A400M military airlifter.Шаблон:R Although Airbus Military had examined the grass strip and believed it suitable, testing was cut short when the test aircraft penetrated the runway surface during a rejected takeoff test.Шаблон:R The test aircraft departed undamaged.Шаблон:R

Aside from a bistro serving the terminal, there is also a small aviation museum and flying school. The runway 07's centerline latitude is 51.885409 degrees and the longitude is 14.515136. Runway 25's centerline latitude is 51.893514 while the longitude is 14.549012 degrees.

The airport closed to all air traffic for the final time on 31 January 2020.[1] Due to investors pulling out, there has been several failed attempts to turn the civilian airport into a freight hub with a Шаблон:Gaps runway, similar in concept to Frankfurt-Hahn.
