Cologne Bonn Airport

Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK) is a large airport in Köln (Cologne), NW, Germany. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EDDK or IATA code CGN. It sits in Europe.

Cologne Bonn Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Cologne Bonn Airport sits near sea level at 302 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Berlin. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 21 departing and 23 arriving private-jet legs at EDDK across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 aircraft from 20 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

As one of the larger fields in Germany, EDDK tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
