About Büsum Airport

Büsum Airport (IATA: HEI, ICAO: EDXB) is a general aviation facility located on the western Schleswig-Holstein coast, serving the twin communities of Büsum and Heide since the post-war era. Owned and managed at the regional level, it handles light and touring aircraft as well as small turboprop and piston aircraft, with runway dimensions suited primarily to single and twin-engine propeller types and light turboprops. Terminal facilities are modest but functional, providing basic passenger handling and fuel services appropriate to the airport’s intimate character. Customs and immigration formalities for international arrivals can be arranged in advance through the relevant German authorities, ensuring compliance without unnecessary delay. The airport’s coastal setting, close proximity to the Wattenmeer National Park mudflats, and its role as a quieter alternative to the busier northern German airports make HEI a genuinely distinctive point of entry into the region.
