Sylt is a North Sea island resort, and its 2,120 m runway and General Aviation Terminal on Apron 2 take private jets about 10 minutes from Westerland.
Opening hours are short, especially in winter, so arrivals and departures outside the day need prior permission arranged in advance.
Flights are operated by LBA-licensed operators.
