## Description

The German Army's helicopter pilots train at Bückeburg (ICAO: ETHB) in Lower Saxony, home since 2015 to the International Helicopter Training Centre (IntHubschrAusbZ), successor to the long-established Army Aviation School (Heeresfliegerwaffenschule). National and international crews train here on types including the EC135, NH90 and Tiger. The military airfield is not open to civil aviation or cargo. For commercial air freight in the Schaumburg/Hanover region, Hanover Airport (IATA: HAJ), about 40 km to the east, is the nearest cargo option.
