What flies from here
- Emden is OFD's home airfield. Its scheduled island routes are Emden to Borkum and Emden to Juist, each a 15 minute flight.
- Both are currently suspended. OFD's Borkum page and its Juist page each carry a banner saying all flights to that island are suspended, with the timetables and fares still published underneath.
- This is worth taking seriously before you drive to Emden. Call 04921 8992-0 or write to info@fliegofd.de.
Fares, when the routes run
| Route | Time | One way | Child up to 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emden to Juist | 15 min | 129 EUR | 52 EUR |
Parking
- The city of Emden runs parking directly at the airfield, at 8 euro per day.
- A monthly pass is 40 euro, aimed at Juist residents who keep a car on the mainland. It is bought by email from the airfield administration.
- For a short island trip that 8 euro a day is the main incidental cost, so factor it in against the ferry.
Also from Emden
- A 15 minute sightseeing flight over Emden and the Wadden Sea can be added to a ticket.
- OFD's head office is here, at Gorch-Fock-Strasse 103, 26721 Emden, which is also where charter enquiries go.
Context
- Ostfriesland Tourismus lists Emden as the departure point for Borkum flights and for sightseeing over Emden, Borkum and East Frisia.
- The nearest international airport is Bremen.
- Several East Frisian islands are tide-dependent by sea and reachable by ferry only once a day, which is the whole reason this airfield matters.
