About Leipzig–Altenburg Airport
Leipzig–Altenburg Airport is a small regional airport in Nobitz, about 6 km southeast of Altenburg in eastern Thuringia. Opened as a military airfield in 1913 and later used for military purposes, it was converted to civil use in the early 1990s and renamed from Altenburg–Nobitz Airport in 2008. Between 2003 and 2011 it handled low-cost scheduled services, and today it focuses on business aviation and general aviation.
The airport has a single runway with a 2,435 m asphalt surface and ILS Cat I, together with a compact passenger terminal that was extended and modernised around 2010. Its position between Leipzig, Chemnitz and Gera makes it a convenient entry point for west Saxony and east Thuringia, with short ground distances and flexible operating hours.
The airport is reached by road and lies roughly 45 km south of central Leipzig. Altenburg is about 6 km away, and regional rail connections are available from Altenburg station for onward travel to Leipzig and other cities in the region.
Facilities include a café/bistro, duty-free shopping, an ATM and free parking, while the adjacent Flugwelt Altenburg museum offers aviation exhibits. Its compact layout and quick handling make it a practical option for private and business flights.
