Airport guide

Leeuwarden Air Base (EHLW) is a medium airport in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EHLW or IATA code LWR. It sits in Europe.

Leeuwarden Air Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Leeuwarden Air Base sits near sea level at 3 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Amsterdam. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
