The hub

Kempten, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Kempten im Allgäu, with a population of around 70,000, anchors the western Allgäu as both an industrial centre and a staging point for Alpine leisure travel. The city hosts a significant cluster of mid-sized manufacturers in mechanical engineering, dairy processing, and precision components — several of which maintain regular executive travel requirements to Munich, Stuttgart, and Zurich. The combination of corporate traffic and high-season ski and leisure flows makes it a consistent secondary destination in southern Bavaria.

Aviation access to Kempten relies primarily on Kempten-Durach (EDMK), a VFR-oriented general aviation field with a grass runway, suitable for light piston aircraft and some light turboprops under favorable conditions. The runway length and surface impose real limitations: most charter jets, including entry-level light jets, cannot operate there. Clients requiring jet charter are typically routed through Memmingen Allgäu Airport (FMM/EDJA), approximately 35 km north, which handles turboprops, light jets, and mid-size aircraft with a paved 2,499 m runway and IFR capability. Munich International (MUC) remains the primary hub for larger cabin or long-range operations, at roughly 130 km.

Transfer times from Memmingen to Kempten city centre run approximately 35–45 minutes via the A7 motorway. From Munich Airport, the transfer is 90–110 minutes depending on traffic. For winter ski season access to Oberstdorf or the Kleinwalsertal, Memmingen is operationally preferable, keeping ground transport under one hour. Austrian border proximity also opens Innsbruck Airport (INN) as a viable alternative for arrivals targeting the eastern Allgäu or Oberstdorf corridor.
