Braunschweig Airport is located north of the city [Braunschweig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweig) in Lower Saxony, which is between Hannover and Magdeburg. This Airport traditionally has been a major center of gliding in Germany and is also used for general aviation, especially business traffic. It's the major hub of the Volkswagen Air Services and the closest suitable airport for the internationally playing Soccer team VFL Wolfsburg. The headquarters of the German Federal Aviation Office, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt are located at the Airport, as well as the Research Fleet of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The well known "NAV Checker" has its base at EDVE flying out to calibrate navigational stations like ILS and VORs in Germany. #### Main Operations, no scheduled public passenger or cargo services:**VW Air Services** | Dessault Falcon 8X and 7X, Pilatus PC-24, A319CJ (retired) |
