A former Cold War-era Soviet air force base, Airport
Madgeburg Cochstedt International is located approximately 194
kilometers southwest of Berlin. Originally built in 1957, it was
expanded to accommodate commercial flight after the reunification of
Germany in 1990. In 2010, a Danish company acquired the airport and
invested 30 million euros to upgrade its runway, apron, taxiway and
control tower. Today, it is not only Saxony-Anhalt’s only international
airport, but it is also a growing hub for freight, logistics and an
ad-hoc charter business. It is fully-licensed to operate under visual
flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) 24 hours a day, and
has regularly been used for test flights by Lufthansa, Airbus and DLR,
the German Center for Aerospace. Assets included in the sale of this
230-hectare airport are a 68-hectare fully-developed industrial area,
3,100 x 60 meter runway, control tower, fire station, terminal building
and parking lot.
