The Dutch Cabinet’s preference to make the Ministry of Defence a co-user of Lelystad Airport as a passenger airport is a positive first step. This development aligns with the broad support from the local community. The collaboration offers significant advantages for the Ministry of Defence. Shared use of infrastructure, personnel, and services such as the fire brigade leads to cost savings, greater efficiency, and strengthened national security.<\/p>\n

Flevoland supports the arrival of fighter jets\u2014on the condition that passenger flights are also permitted. This combination ensures public support and maximizes the airport\u2019s potential. A clear win-win, as also stated by the Ministry of Defence. Lelystad Airport is ready, the urgency is high, and this cooperation deserves progress, not delay. Now more than ever, Lelystad Airport is committed to working together with the Ministry of Defence to further develop these plans.<\/p>\n

No, there will be no cargo flights to and from Lelystad Airport. It is simply not possible. Our runway is too short for the type of aircraft used for cargo traffic. In addition, the runway and taxiways are too narrow and the aircraft stands are too small. There are also no facilities at Lelystad Airport to handle cargo traffic. These include storage sheds, customs and clearance facilities.<\/p>\n
