Rostock-Laage Airport
Rostock-Laage Airport, coded RLG, is located near Laage, Germany, and has a notable dual history as both a former Soviet-era military airbase and a civilian airport. After German reunification, the site was converted to support civil aviation, serving the Rostock and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region with limited scheduled and charter flights, particularly to holiday destinations. The airport also retains a military presence, hosting German Air Force operations alongside civilian traffic, a legacy of its Cold War role as an East German air defense installation. Its long runway, originally built for military jets, gives RLG capacity beyond what its modest passenger volumes typically require.
