Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport EDFE / QEF
Germany's busiest general-aviation airport, 30 minutes south of Frankfurt's financial centre and free of slot coordination. Customs by prior notice; the 1,400 m runway and visibility minima for high-performance types restrict it to light and midsize aircraft. Ideal for quick Rhine-Main business trips.
