The Jena Schöngleina airfield is a commercial airfield in the municipality of Schöngleina east of the city of Jena in Thuringia . The operator is the Verkehrslandeplatz Jena-Schöngleina GmbH.
The shareholders of the Betriebs-GmbH for the public sector are the Saale-Holzland-Kreis and Stadtwerke Jena, each with a 50% stake.
The aerodrome operation, which has been a corporate form since 1999, emerged from the transfer of the aerodrome from its former owner, the Förderkreis-Verein Flugplatz Jena-Schöngleina.
history
The history of Jena aviation goes back to 1929. These first beginnings with gliding took place in Jena-Zwätze.
With increasing interest in aviation and aviation, the glider operations and flight training for this first shifted to the heights of the Jena core mountains and later to Drackendorf. However, the option of the Drackendorfer aviation training facility was soon discarded.
After a decision in 1940 in favor of the Schöngleina location, an airfield was established there in 1941 and closed again in 1945. In the first years after the end of the Second World War , flights were carried out on other sites (Drackendorf and Rödigen) and a new hall was built in Schöngleina. On July 16, 1959, the first post-war take-off took place from the airfield in Schöngleina. During a further expansion in the early 1970s, the tower, a dining room (today's restaurant) and training and accommodation rooms were built. This expansion was inaugurated on September 24, 1978 with an air day.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the airfield was approved as a commercial airfield in 1991 under German law. It was then expanded with hangars and received a new asphalt runway.
In the summer of 2011 it became known that Jenoptik would like to sell its shares because it does not want to participate in the annual losses of around 125,000 euros.
