Straubing-Wallmรผhle Airport (RBM), also known as Flugplatz Straubing-Wallmรผhle, is a premier regional and business aviation hub located in the heart of Lower Bavaria, Germany. For travelers, this facility offers an efficient and much more personalized alternative to the massive hubs in Munich (MUC) or Frankfurt (FRA). Situated just 10 kilometers west of the city of Straubing, ground transportation into the city center is most conveniently handled by local taxis, which take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. For those who prefer to drive, the airport is strategically positioned with quick access to the A3 motorway, which connects the region to major cities like Regensburg and Passau.
Car rental services are available but must be pre-arranged with local providers. The terminal is compact and professional, offering essential amenities such as a comfortable waiting lounge, a popular on-site restaurant with a terrace overlooking the runway, and free high-speed Wi-Fi. A unique feature of RBM is its status as a major center for aircraft maintenance and sales, often seeing a mix of corporate jets, private owners, and specialized aviation professionals. While it does not host scheduled large-scale commercial flights, it is a bustling base for charter operations and flight training.
When departing, ensure you have all your documents ready, as the facility is an 'Airport of Entry' with customs and immigration services available for international arrivals from outside the Schengen Area (with prior notification). Be mindful that winter weather in Bavaria can bring snow and fog, which may lead to short-term operational changes, although the airport is well-equipped for year-round service. The nearby town of Atting offers basic local services, but for extensive dining or shopping, heading into the historic city of Straubing is highly recommended.
