Geographical location
Airfield (1970 to 2013)
The remaining area of the airfield, which existed between 1970 and 2013, is about 13 km (as the crow flies ) northwest of Kassel's city center in the municipality of Calden. It is located west of the Calden core town, north of Fürstenwald , northeast of Ehrsten and east of Meimbressen ; the last two villages mentioned extend in the valley of the Nebelbeeke . A few kilometers to the north is the village of Schachten, which belongs to Grebenstein . The airfield was on the Langen- and Staufenbergplatte directly east of the gently rising summit of the 278.3 m above sea level. NHN high Hollenberg built on former arable land at an altitude of 260 to 277 m ; the airport reference point (engl. point aerodrome reference ARP) was approximately 276 m height. The now locked runway - with the path identifier 04/22 and 1500 m in length and 30 m in width - is applied in northeast-southwest direction. In addition, there was a grass runway (04L / 22R) about 700 m long and 30 m wide to the northwest, parallel to the asphalt runway.
To the north-northwest of the airfield are the adjacent forest areas Hegeholz and Schenkelwald with a total of around 120 hectares at a maximum height of 278.6 m . To the south, beyond Gut Klein Calden, the Tiergarten forest area , which used to be a fenced-in hunting area, extends to a maximum height of around 322 m . The federal highway 7 runs northeast (see section transport links ).
Commercial airport (since 2013)
The regional airport, which opened in 2013, is located about 13.5 km (as the crow flies) northwest of Kassel city center and 1.5 km northeast of the former airfield in the areas of Calden and Grebenstein. It was built - also on the Langen and Staufenberg plates - between the Calden core town and the nearby Grebenstein districts of Schachten in the north-northwest and Burguffeln in the east-northeast.
The airport is located east of the Hegeholz and Schenkelwald forest areas on former farmland at Schachter Höhe - a hill sloping east towards Grebensteiner Höhe between the peaks of Hollenberg ( 278.3 m ) in the south-west, Steinhügel ( 268.5 m ) in the north-west and Gradhöhe ( 247.7 m ) in the northeast. To the east the landscape drops over the Suderbach and the Calde into the Esse valley . The maximum height of the airport is about 264 m . The airport was built northeast of the aforementioned B 7, which was relocated to the southwest during the airport construction phase. There are over 1400 free and around 110 inexpensive parking spaces available.

history
prehistory
On August 24, 1924, the Kassel-Waldau airfield was opened, which at that time was in the area of the municipality of Lohfelden . The airfield was maintained at the city's expense and the scheduled flight service established by Lufthansa from 1926 was directly subsidized until the funds ran out during the global economic crisis . From 1930 to 1945 it served the Gerhard Fieseler works as a works airfield; it was also used for flight days .
In the 1950s there was little interest in expanding the airfield, especially as Kassel was well connected in terms of transport. It was also feared that an expansion could damage the image of the city as a city of culture. After years of neglect, a new airport was planned at the urging of the Kassel industry and the mayor Lauritz Lauritzen .
Flight operations as a commercial airfield (since 1970)
On July 11, 1970, the new "Kassel Airport" was opened in Calden. It was 104 hectares with an additional 22 hectares of commercial space. Although the old airfield was economically successful, the city was evidently no longer granted an airfield, or the meaning of the airfield was questioned. Der Spiegel headlined "Kassel built an airfield for 22 million - which is not needed" and referred, among other things, to the inadequate infrastructure. Aside from criticism, Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport , which is 58 km away and opened in 1971, developed well from the start.
In the spring of 1972, the charter airline Aviaction stationed an aircraft on site. From 1972 to 1975 General Air flew from Kassel-Calden in regular service to Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Düsseldorf. The Ostfriesische Lufttransport (OLT) flew on a scheduled service to Düsseldorf and Cologne. From 1992 the Berlin special flight flew temporarily to Berlin-Tempelhof . In 1994 there were the first vacation flights to Mallorca and Tunisia . Machines of the type BAe 146 were used , the airline was initially the Conti-Flug ; after their bankruptcy, Eurowings took over . 1997 there were also charter flights to Malta , operated with BAe 146 from Air Malta .
In 2000, the first time landed a Boeing 737 of the Hamburg International and then flew on to Mallorca. In 2002 the flights were discontinued. From summer 2005, there were no scheduled or charter flights to or from the Kassel-Calden airfield, which has four night flight permits. In 2005, the volume of air freight carried was around 650 tons . In 2008 there were around 30,000 aircraft movements with around 25,000 passengers . Air sports and leisure traffic as well as helicopter flights make up the largest share. In 2013 there were 22,891 aircraft movements with 46,557 passengers, in 2014 there were 26,419 aircraft movements with 47,088 passengers.
While the airport had already competed with Paderborn / Lippstadt airport in 1971, the expansion of Erfurt-Weimar airport, 122 km to the east, followed after reunification . Although their catchment areas were smaller, the ambitions of the federal states there were greater. When the expansion of Kassel-Calden became more topical around 2000, Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport began extensive expansion. Its managing director scoffed: “If the Caldeners start with the expansion, then we'll be done long ago”, alluding to the resistance that the airport expansion in Kassel was exposed to.
Expansion to a commercial airport (2005 to 2013)
Planning
An airport expansion has been discussed since the 1970s. But it was not until 2000 that planning began with the aim of expanding the airfield into a fully-fledged regional airport. A new building was created from the long preliminary phase of expert opinions, procedures and public participation. According to this plan, this should be completed by 2010, but the start of construction was also delayed due to a pending decision by the European Commission . The concerns that the cultural heritage of the city of Kassel and the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe could be devalued, as well as on the part of the operators of existing airports in the region ( Erfurt , Paderborn), who questioned the capacity utilization and usable performance, were also included.
The regional planning procedure required for these construction measures , to which 8,000 objections, including 5,000 from Hann. Münden was completed in December 2003. The plan approval procedure then ran from January 2006 to July 18, 2007 and was concluded with the plan approval decision. A demand forecast developed for the planning approval procedure shows, assuming the commissioning in 2009, a passenger number of 324,000 and a freight volume of 1,700 tons for Kassel-Calden for the second year of operation . This target number of passengers was met with only 14% in the corresponding year 2014.
The Hessian Administrative Court in Kassel declared on 17 June 2008 in a judgment the zoning decision for final. Since no appeal against the judgment was lodged, construction could begin.
In March 2010, the then Finance Minister of Hesse, Karlheinz Weimar, announced in Kassel that the construction of the new airport would be much more expensive than planned. In 2003, 151 million euros were estimated. In particular, due to increased security requirements, the required budget has increased to 225 million euros. Nevertheless, according to the Weimar Minister, the state government will adhere to the expansion plans.
On August 26, 2011, Hesse's Finance Minister Thomas Schäfer announced that the expansion costs would increase by a further 25 million euros to 248.7 million euros. The reason given for this was additional costs for earthworks, flight operations areas and planning. The state of Hesse has also planned and used an additional cost buffer of 22.3 million euros in the budget for further cost increases. The total costs amounted to 271 million euros. The state of Hesse will take over most of the financing, the city of Kassel and the district will pay 15.5 million euros, the municipality of Calden around seven million euros. The state will subsidize the operation for several years. The breakeven point should be reached in 2020.
As part of the B 7, a bypass around Calden has been approved since December 2012. However, a farmer had sued the planning approval decision, which delayed the start of construction. In July 2015, there was finally an out-of-court settlement with this farmer, so that nothing stands in the way of building the bypass. The mandatory groundbreaking ceremony took place on June 3, 2016, and construction is expected to be completed in December 2020.
Goal of the expansion and new building
In view of the increasing passenger numbers in Germany at the time (2003: 146.7 million, 2015 forecast: 255.6 million), the shareholders pursued the goal of integrating Kassel and Northern Hesse into the European air traffic network with the expansion and construction of the new airport improve the region's transport infrastructure and improve the quality of the location. Another aim is to create jobs.
The expansion of the airfield was classified as "urgent" in the federal government's airport concept of August 2000. The airfield is also classified in the “Master Scheme Trans-European Networks - Horizon 2020 - Airports” of the European Union (EU) in the category “Regional components and access components” and thus fulfills the requirements for financial support from the EU.
Construction work
The construction measures included the construction of a completely new airport with a runway 2500 m long and 45 m wide as well as the air traffic control technology and the terminal building. In addition, there was the expansion and relocation of federal highway 7 and the expansion of the Calden sewage treatment plant .
In the construction stage, Kassel-Calden Airport was laid out on a size of 168 hectares, with an additional 22 hectares of commercial space; In the final expansion (2013) this resulted in a total area of 220 ha and 9.8 ha of commercial space. Its runway should also allow larger aircraft to take off and land.
On November 30, 2009, clearing work began to move the B 7 away from the future airport site. The preparatory work for the new airport building began at the end of 2010. At the beginning of the expansion, several hectares of forest in the area of the former municipality of Meimbressen were cleared along the B 7 to Westuffeln.
On March 10, 2011, the expansion and new construction work began with a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony. While supporters welcomed the start of expansion, critics spoke of a waste of millions. The start was accompanied by protests.
Because the Schachter Höhe and Grebensteiner Höhe between Calden and Burguffeln had a very steep gradient and were therefore unsuitable for airport construction, around 4.3 million cubic meters of earth and rock were moved there. Numerous excavators, bulldozers, trucks and tractor-pulled dump trucks were used for this purpose.
In October 2011, Piper Deutschland AG signed land purchase agreements with the airport operator in order to operate an administration building, a shipyard, warehouse space and a warehouse for aircraft spare parts on an area of more than one hectare. Piper AG was previously located at the airfield.
On May 8, 2012, the airport tower received its cockpit. Construction work on the runway, taxiways and airfields was completed at the end of 2012.
opening
Flight operations began on April 4, 2013. The Germania landed on opening the first airline to an aircraft on the new regional airport, as it had announced the first company flights from Kassel-Calden. An Airbus A319 of this type , which came from Frankfurt am Main Airport as flight ST 2013 , hit the tarmac at 11:11 a.m. after a flight of almost 18 minutes. In the presence of Hesse’s Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU), around 700 guests attended a festival tent - including the airport’s managing director, Jörg Ries, who said: “We’re done” . Sightseeing flights with the landed aircraft over the North Hesse region were raffled off among the guests. The first holiday flight was carried out on the same day (at 4:00 p.m.) as a stopover from Düsseldorf Airport by Tailwind Airlines and its destination was Antalya, Turkey . The flight the following day was canceled, however, as only six passengers had booked. The passengers were taken in a taxi to the nearest airport Paderborn / Lippstadt .
Flight operations
Kassel-Calden Airport is mainly used by general aviation . It is the base of Businesswings with three aircraft. The Star Wings Dortmund has deployed two business jets in Kassel.

Airlines and destinations
In the area of tourist air traffic, the airline Germania has been flying regularly to Antalya , Heraklion and Palma de Mallorca since opening until 2016 . The airline Sundair has stationed an Airbus A320 at the airport since September 2017 and offers one (winter) or two (summer) departures per day to various holiday destinations.
Air freight
Bin Air has been flying four times a week to London for the GLS parcel service since January 2017 . These flights were previously handled via Paderborn / Lippstadt .
In May 2017, after a year and a half of cooperation (November 2015), the airport lost its largest freight customer to date, the mail order company Amazon , which handles five freight flights a week with a Boeing 737 at Kassel Airport. The cargo planes came with goods from Doncaster, England, and flew from Kassel Airport to Wroclaw in Poland . Since then, these flights have been handled at Leipzig-Halle Airport due to a change in the customers' logistics concept .
Operating times
According to the planning approval decision, flight operations at the airport will be restricted during the night. Allowed are:
- 10:00 pm - 6:00 am: four flight movements, of which between
- 24:00 - 5:00: only air freight companies whose flights are dependent on the " night jump ";
- 10:00 pm - 12:00 pm: ten delayed take-offs or landings per month.
Exceptions exist for flights to provide assistance in emergencies and disasters, for medical care and for survey flights by the German air traffic control.
Operating profit
Operational flight operations
The medium-term financial planning initially assumed a positive operating result in 2018. In the 2015–2024 business plan, this is now expected in 2022. The airport operator, Flughafen GmbH Kassel, closed the year 2013 with an annual deficit of EUR 6.73 million, although the income statement, in addition to "sales revenues" of EUR 0.87 million, "other operating income" of 12.0 million euros. Instead of a loss compensation amounting to 2.7 million euros, the state had to raise 4.5 million euros. A loss of EUR 8.1 million is expected in 2014.
Common good costs
The operator's overall result does not include the costs for air surveillance , security and the airport fire brigade , which were previously completely assumed by the State of Hesse as sovereign tasks . In 2014 these costs amounted to almost 5 million euros. The state of Hesse no longer wants to bear these costs alone in the future, but rather transfer them to all owners as common good costs .
Depreciation
The operator's negative annual result (2016) includes EUR 5.9 million for wages including non-wage costs and EUR 6.9 million for "other operating expenses" as well as depreciation of EUR 6.8 million on fixed assets of EUR 245 million . Euro.
Coalition agreement
The coalition agreement of the black-green state government ( Bouffier II cabinet ) stipulated that the loss compensation to be borne by the state should decrease by at least 10 percent year after year. As agreed, the development of the airport was evaluated in 2017. The state government then decided to continue operating the airport unchanged. The coalition agreement of the black-green state government ( Bouffier III cabinet ), which has been in force since 2019, sets the goal of continuously reducing the state's total costs to an amount of 6 million euros by 2025. The total costs of the state include: compensation for losses, compensation for government services (e.g. airport and aviation security, fire brigade) and the (provisional) assumption of cost compensation for the municipality of Calden.

Passenger numbers:
In October 2013, the chairman of the supervisory board and Hessian finance minister Thomas Schäfer drew up the interim balance sheet for the first three quarters of 2013 and stated that around 30,000 holidaymakers had flown from Kassel-Calden southwards. On November 4, 2013, the Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) published internal statistics from the airport company which showed that far fewer holidaymakers started from Kassel-Calden during this period. The passenger numbers were "far too high", so the tenor of the HR. In contrast, the operator's 2013 annual financial statements show the carriage of 31,640 passengers in scheduled and charter aircraft.

criticism
The main points of criticism at Kassel-Calden Airport, which can also be found in 8000 objections to the regional planning procedure, are, on the one hand, insufficient occupancy and, on the other hand, high noise pollution. It is also said that the airport has poor transport links. On the other hand, the city of Kassel already has a good traffic infrastructure, which makes an airport superfluous. In addition, passengers would migrate from airports in neighboring federal states, which were built with high subsidies.
A citizens' initiative from Hann. Münden lodged a complaint with the European Commission - ultimately unsuccessfully. The expansion was also criticized by Lufthansa , in a policy letter it says: "The North Rhine-Westphalian airport Paderborn-Lippstadt is only around 70 kilometers away, the profitability of which is thus further shaken".
Another point of criticism is the airport's annual losses (see figures, data and facts above ). According to a confidential audit report by the Hessian Court of Auditors, the airport should require more than 326 million euros in public funds by 2024 (as of 2017). The number of passengers was far below expectations, and businesses had hardly settled. According to the test report, the costs are disproportionate to the expected benefits.
executive Director
From 2012 to the end of March 2014, Maria Anna Muller, who previously managed Rostock-Laage Airport , was the managing director of the airport company; she had a five-year contract but only served a year and a half. Her successor was Ralf Schustereder, who was previously responsible for Cairo International Airport at Fraport and who took up the post on April 1, 2014; he left on March 31, 2017 at his own request. Since April 1, 2017, the lawyer Lars Ernst has been managing director, who has been head of the computer security department and head of the commercial department at the airport since 2010 and has been an authorized signatory since 2014.
Business
There is commercial space at the new airport and the former airfield. Parts of the former airfield are also to be converted into an industrial and commercial area. The number of companies and jobs (direct, indirect and induced) has developed as follows in recent years:
| Key figures / year | 2005 | 2012 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations at Kassel Airport | 19th | 19th | 24 | 24 | 29 | 31 |
| Direct jobs | 587 | 704 | 788 | 832 | 872 | 1008 |
| Total jobs | 1985 | 2170 | 2708 | 2859 | 2997 | n / A |
The largest employer at the old airfield is the manufacturer of drive and control components for aircraft, ZF Luftfahrttechnik . Other companies are, for example, Airbus Helicopters (maintenance and repair of helicopters) and the newly established JOSTACHES Systeme GmbH (production of trailer axles).
The largest company at the new airport is Piper Generalvertretung Deutschland AG , which specializes in aircraft sales, maintenance and repairs . Piper has announced that its businesses will be further concentrated at the Calden site and that another building will be built. Furthermore, the helicopter service provider Air Lloyd Aerotechnics (formerly Helitec) has built and moved into two halls. The Competence Center Aerospace Kassel Calden (CCA), a network in the fields of aviation and airport technology, is also located at the airport; 50 companies, suppliers from the region and research institutes have joined forces.
