Twente Airport (IATA: ENS, ICAO: EHTW) is located 2 NM (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) outside of Enschede in Overijssel, Netherlands.

The airfield has also been approved for limited use by business charter operators and aircraft scrapping, storage and maintenance.

During World War II the German Luftwaffe took over the airport and made it a military airbase, renaming it Fliegerhorst Twente.

In April 1945 Allied troops reoccupied the airport renaming it to B 106/Twente and transferred ownership to the Dutch armed forces.

Aircraft based at Twente since the Second World War include the Gloster Meteor, Lockheed T-33, Fokker S.14 Machtrainer, Hawker Hunter, North American F-86K Sabre, Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, Northrop NF-5 and General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon.

[25] In March 2014 the government proposed that the airport could re-open for General Aviation users in 2015, and commercial traffic in 2016.

[26] However, in June 2014 both the provincial government and the city of Enschede abandoned the plan to re-open the airport for commercial traffic.

[32] The first aircraft to be scrapped was HB-JMK, an Airbus A340-300 formerly operated by Swiss International Air Lines, which arrived on 27 April 2017.

In June and July 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic economic downturn, six Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 aircraft arrived at Twente Airport for storage.
