Premier airport for business aviation and MRO Lelystad Airport is poised for ambitious growth. Grow along with it! A prime location for MRO and a prime location for you!
March 2015 marked the beginning of a special period, full of opportunities. It was then that the decision was made to turn Lelystad Airport into a preferred leisure airport, with a 2400 mtrs runway, air traffic control and a passenger terminal.
Lelystad Airport aims to become a "one-stop shop" for high-quality Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) for business and general aviation.
An airport in the heart of the Netherlands which has many of the top- notch facilities of a major airport as well as pilot training programmes and recreational aviation: That is the textbook definition of a prime location for MRO. And if you are active in the high-end MRO industry, we have the perfect location for you too – Lelystad Airport's business park is very spacious, with a direct link to the taxiway! Lelystad Airport can be the launch pad for growth.
