EDAY - Strausberg Airfield
EDAY is located approximately 30 km east of Berlin, just one kilometer from the Strausberg-Nord S-Bahn station (S5 line).
The airfield was founded in 1927. From 1935 onward, it was used almost continuously for military purposes. Since 1992, it has served civilian air traffic. Over time, the entire airfield has developed into an attractive and modern facility in Strausberg.
With 45,000 aircraft movements per year, Strausberg Airfield is now one of the largest in eastern Germany. While the grass runway is primarily used by the local gliding club, aircraft up to 8,000 kg take off and land on the concrete runway (both 1200 m long). The airfield is mainly used for business traffic, flight training by the local flight schools, and recreational flying.
Strausberg Airfield is now one of the largest in eastern Germany. The airfield grounds include a modern fuel station, several hangars, the "Doppeldecker" restaurant, and the former control tower, which has been converted into pilot accommodations, in addition to the control tower built in 2001.
The airfield regularly hosts trade fairs, events, and air shows with flight demonstrations. Visitors can sometimes watch balloons or zeppelins take off and land. The airfield has also served as a backdrop for film shoots and professional photo shoots on several occasions.
This year one of IFISA Seminar highlights will be an informal dinner held on the second day of our seminar at Strausberg Airport.
We really look forward to this exciting experience!
