Lahr sits in the Ortenau, close to the French border, with a 3,000-metre runway that is long for a regional airfield. Private jet charter at Lahr Airport therefore suits business jets of most sizes heading for the Black Forest, Freiburg or Alsace.
The detail that matters is customs. Private flights from outside the EU and Schengen area need two hours' notice, and passenger charter flights need a waiver applied for at least three working days ahead.
Charter-A builds that lead time into your quote and confirms it before you commit. We will confirm this with the airport.
