Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport — Braunschweig, Germany

Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport takes its name from the two cities it serves in Lower Saxony, Germany: Braunschweig and Wolfsburg. Records put the field at 295 feet in elevation, where a single runway covers current operations, underscoring its role as a regional rather than major international airport. Its dual-city name is unusual among German airports and signals how the facility was designed to cover a broader stretch of eastern Lower Saxony rather than one city alone. Coded BWE, the field leans on corporate jets, pilot training, and short regional hops instead of large-scale scheduled traffic. Braunschweig itself ranks among Lower Saxony's older cities, and the surrounding area blends established urban centers with the flatter countryside typical of this part of northern Germany.
