These are the handling companies the airport lists for private and business aircraft.

Operational Notes

No separate private-aviation terminal; private passengers are handled through the main terminal.

In summer a landing slot and parking permission are both required. Aircraft may stay on the ground for a maximum of 40 minutes between 08:00 and 21:00 local (in force until 15 September in 2026); outside those hours stays of up to 11 hours are possible, so an evening arrival with an early departure can work. Otherwise the aircraft drops passengers and parks at another airport. The airport is shared with the military.
