Cottbus-Drewitz Airport

Cottbus-Drewitz Airport (IATA: CBU, ICAO: EDCD) was a civilian airport located in Drewitz, an Ortsteil of Jänschwalde, approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) north-east of Cottbus in Brandenburg, Germany.

During World War II Cottbus-Drewitz Airport was used by the Luftwaffe and from 1956 by the National People's Army.

In late May 2012, a grass strip at the airport was used to conduct unpaved runway trials of the Airbus A400M military airlifter.

[1] Aside from a bistro serving the terminal, there was also a small aviation museum and flying school.

[2] Due to investors pulling out, there have been several failed attempts to turn the civilian airport into a freight hub with a 3000 m runway, similar in concept to Frankfurt-Hahn.
