Stuttgart Airport

Stuttgart Airport (EDDS) is a large airport in Stuttgart, BW, Germany. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EDDS or IATA code STR. It sits in Europe.

Stuttgart 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.

Stuttgart Airport lies at 1,276 ft elevation.

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 24 departing and 18 arriving private-jet legs at EDDS across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 aircraft from 21 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, EDDS tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Stuttgart Airport, formerly Flughafen Stuttgart-Echterdingen, is an international airport serving Stuttgart, the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is christened in honor of Stuttgart's former mayor, Manfred Rommel, son of Erwin Rommel, and is the sixth busiest airport in Germany with 11,832,634 passengers having passed through its doors in 2018. The facility covers approximately 400 hectares, of which 190 hectares are green space.
