Helgoland-Düne Airport is a small, isolated aerodrome on the islet of Düne, a short stretch of water from the main island of Helgoland in the German North Sea, Schleswig-Holstein. With three short, lit hard runways and no instrument approach, it offers a distinctive visual-flying destination well out over open water, popular with pilots making the crossing from the mainland.
Helgoland-Düne Airport (ICAO EDXH, IATA HGL) sits on Düne, the small islet lying just east of the main island of Helgoland, itself far out in the German Bight of the North Sea. It is a compact facility offering scheduled air links to the mainland as well as general aviation movements, and its offshore setting, short runways and lack of instrument approach make it a notable visual-flying challenge for a simulator pilot planning an overwater crossing.
The airfield lies at 54.1853N, 7.9158E at an elevation of 7 feet, on the islet of Düne immediately off Helgoland in the North Sea, well separated from the German mainland. Traffic in the area is provided with advisory information rather than a full air traffic control service, reflecting the airfield's remote, low-density setting.
The airfield has three physical hard-surfaced runways, all lit. Runway 15/33 is 1561 feet long. Runway 03/21 offers 1377 feet available in the 03 direction and 1236 feet in the 21 direction. Runway 06/24 is 882 feet long. There is no ILS.
An AFIS-type service is provided on 128.525 MHz under the callsign Langen Information, with a further advisory frequency of 122.455 MHz under the callsign Helgoland Radio. There is no published instrument approach or navaid associated with the field.
Helgoland-Düne Airport continues to handle light aircraft and scheduled services linking the island group to the mainland, operating as a small airport with airline service.
