Flying private from QEF.
Frankfurt-Egelsbach (EDFE) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Frankfurt.
Egelsbach is a general aviation airfield south of Frankfurt, used by light and midsize jets to avoid the slots and handling costs of Frankfurt International.
The runway is only 1,400 m long and the airfield closes at 21:00, so larger jets and late arrivals need Frankfurt instead.
Other options in Frankfurt include Frankfurt Airport (FRA). Flights are operated by LBA-licensed operators.
