Neubrandenburg Trollenhagen Airport (FNB)

Neubrandenburg Trollenhagen Airport (FNB) is a regional aviation facility located in Trollenhagen, approximately 6 kilometers northeast of the city of Neubrandenburg in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state of northeastern Germany. Originally established as a military airbase in 1934, the airport has a complex history, having been utilized by the Soviet army and later the German Air Force (Bundeswehr). Since March 2014, it has transitioned to a purely civilian airfield, serving as an important hub for general aviation, business travel, and regional connectivity in one of Germany's most scenic lake regions. The passenger terminal at Neubrandenburg Airport is a compact and efficient facility designed to handle general aviation and charter operations. The terminal building integrates all necessary functional areas, including arrival and departure zones, administrative offices, and flight control services. For travelers and pilots, the airport features a local bistro known as the 'Flieger-Casino,' which provides a selection of meals and refreshments in a welcoming atmosphere. Convenient parking is located directly adjacent to the terminal, ensuring quick access for all visitors. As a general aviation airport, FNB does not host regularly scheduled commercial airline services. Its primary mission is to support private flights, corporate jets, and occasional seasonal charters. The airfield features a substantial 2,293-meter concrete runway, which is capable of accommodating medium-sized aircraft and even larger transport planes. Equipped with a modern instrument landing system and approved for night operations, the airport is a reliable all-weather facility that also serves as a base for flight schools, air sports clubs, and rescue missions. Ground transportation to and from Neubrandenburg Airport is typically managed via private vehicles, taxis, or pre-arranged shuttles, as there is no direct public transport link to the terminal. The city of Neubrandenburg, famous for its historic medieval fortifications and its location on the shores of Lake Tollensesee, is just a short drive away. For those visiting the region to explore the Mecklenburg Lake District or heading toward the Baltic coast, the airport provides a professional and accessible entry point. Despite its military past, Neubrandenburg Trollenhagen is now firmly established as a cornerstone of civilian aviation in northeastern Germany.
