## Description

Celle Army Airfield (ICAO: ETHC) in Lower Saxony is home to the German Army's Training and Exercise Center for Air Mobility, which prepares air-mobile units on a 1,841-metre runway built for helicopter and transport operations. A new base command took over in 2025 with plans to expand infrastructure and add drones and cooperation with Dutch forces. The Bundeswehr field is closed to civil aviation and cargo. For air freight in the Celle/Lüneburg Heath region, Hannover Airport (IATA: HAJ), about 50 km to the west, is the nearest full cargo option.
