Private flying at Düsseldorf is shaped by its night curfew as much as its runways. Private jet charter at Düsseldorf goes through the 800-square-metre Executive Terminal, run by Jet Aviation, with security and passport control, an executive lounge, a conference centre and a pilot briefing room.
Runways of 3,000 and 2,700 metres suit any business jet. Immigration and customs are on site at the Executive Terminal.
The detail to get right is timing: movements are limited per hour, and night use depends on your aircraft's noise category. Charter-A checks both before we quote.
Flying privately to Düsseldorf
The Executive Terminal is open daily 05:30–23:00 local, in the western part of the airport. Handling is by Jet Aviation Düsseldorf and German Aviation Service, and immigration and customs are on site.
No scheduled or charter movements are coordinated between 23:00 and 06:00. Jets meeting the required noise category may take off 06:00–22:00 and land 06:00–23:00, while other night flights need a special exemption. The airport limits planned movements per hour, so slots should be confirmed early. Charter-A checks your aircraft's noise category with the airport before we quote.
