The hub

Cottbus, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Cottbus sits at the intersection of two federal motorways — the A15 and A13 — positioning it as a genuine logistics and industrial node in the former Lusatia coal basin. The city hosts the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU), a significant driver of applied research in energy transition and engineering, and is home to a growing cluster of firms tied to the Lausitz structural transformation programme, one of Germany's largest publicly funded industrial reconversion efforts. Corporate traffic into the region is dominated by energy developers, engineering contractors and federal project managers involved in that transition.

Cottbus-Drewitz airport (EDCD/CBU) serves as the city's dedicated general aviation entry point. With a 2,300-metre paved runway, the field comfortably accommodates midsize jets and turboprops without payload restriction under typical Central European conditions. Operating hours run 08:00–18:00 local time, and customs clearance is available with 24-hour prior notice — a standard arrangement for regional German airfields outside the major hub network. The field is operationally uncongested, meaning no PPR or slot coordination is required for private movements, and ramp turnarounds are straightforward.

For missions that require transatlantic-range aircraft or overnight parking at a larger facility, Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) lies approximately 120 km northwest — roughly 75 minutes by road. Dresden Airport (DRS) offers an alternative 90-minute drive south, with full customs and FBO infrastructure. Positioning flights from either hub are routinely arranged to reposition aircraft to EDCD for early departures when schedule precision is critical.
