Private aviation in Germany: infrastructure and specific features

Germany has a dense network of airports, a significant number of which are equipped with private terminals or business aviation facilities. Although we sometimes hear that “few German airports accept private jets”, the reality is more nuanced: the majority of major hubs (Munich, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Hamburg…) have FBO terminals or facilities dedicated to private flights.

However, a number of practical constraints remain (time slots, noise restrictions, night schedules, local authorizations). These constraints are not insurmountable, especially if the mission is prepared by experts who have already operated in Germany.

At AEROAFFAIRES, we act asaviation experts for your missions in Germany, selecting the optimum airport (private terminal, proximity to the city, aircraft capacity) and anticipating local formalities.

Innovation and sustainability in business aviation

News and events not to be missed

  • Oktoberfest in Munich, one of the world’s biggest festivals, attracting many jet bookings.

  • Frankfurt Motor Show and other major trade fairs, generating strong business aviation activity.

  • Berlin music and theater festival, attracting a demanding international clientele.

Practical advice before renting a private jet

  • Remember to book in advance during peak periods to guarantee your flight.

  • Prepare your documents (passport, visa if required) and find out about current health regulations.

  • Talk to your aviation expert to choose the right aircraft for your duration, expected comfort and budget.

  • What are the main airports in Germany for private jets?

    The main business aviation hubs in Germany are Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin-Schönefeld, Cologne-Bonn and Stuttgart. These airports offer top-of-the-range private terminals, most of which are open 24 hours a day, with the exception of certain time restrictions, notably in Stuttgart (no take-offs between 11pm and 6am).

  • What are the rules governing private flight schedules in Germany?

    Very few German airports actually allow 24-hour operations for private jets, due to strict local restrictions aimed at limiting noise pollution. In Stuttgart and Frankfurt, for example, take-offs and landings are prohibited during certain night-time periods (generally between 11pm and 6am), in accordance with strict noise abatement protocols. These measures include flight quotas, mandatory quiet intervals and optimized flight procedures to reduce noise impact in densely populated urban areas. Other airports, such as Hamburg and Düsseldorf, also apply similar restrictions, while offering premium service to their private aviation passengers during the authorized time slots. Exceptions are sometimes made for emergency or medical flights. These strict rules reflect Germany’s commitment to reconciling aviation development with quality of life for local residents.

  • What formalities and documents are required for a private flight in Germany?

    Citizens of the Schengen area can enter Germany without a visa, while non-Schengen travelers have to comply with standard requirements. From 2025, the ETIAS system will also be compulsory for certain visa-exempt travellers. Customs procedures are simplified for private aviation passengers, with accelerated checks at most airports.

  • How is Germany dealing with environmental restrictions on business aviation?

    Germany, like other European countries, is considering implementing restrictions on private jets to limit noise and pollutant emissions. Although some cities, such as Amsterdam, have already announced bans on private flights from the end of 2025, Germany is maintaining a measured approach for the time being, while keeping a watchful eye on growing political and ecological pressure.

  • What is the peak season for private flights to Germany?

    High season generally coincides with the European summer, from June to September, and around major events such as Oktoberfest in Munich, the Berlin Film Festival or the major trade fairs in Frankfurt. During these periods, demand for private jets rises sharply, with an impact on rates and availability.
