A runway of about 1,600 metres, recently renovated, extended and grooved, is what makes private jet charter at Augsburg Airport practical for light and mid-size business jets. The airfield sits beside the A8 motorway, with direct road links towards Munich and Stuttgart, and runway 25 has an ILS approach.
Augsburg is a permanent customs and border police airport, so flights arriving from outside the Schengen area can be cleared here. There is no slot system either, which means times are agreed directly rather than allocated.
Charter-A will tell you at quote stage whether your aircraft and route suit the runway.
