## Description

Hohenfels Army Airfield (ICAO: ETIH) works with a single asphalt strip of roughly 667 by 22 metres, sized for helicopters and light liaison aircraft rather than airliners or freighters. It lies inside the Hohenfels Training Area in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria and belongs to the US Army's Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC), one of NATO's principal combat training centres in Europe. In 2024 US Army and US Air Force engineers additionally rehabilitated an unpaved landing zone, finished in time for the NATO exercise Saber Junction 2024; it supports tactical airlift under exercise conditions, not commercial traffic. There is no civil aviation, no scheduled service, no commercial cargo handling and no customs post for trade goods — the site is a closed military area. Air freight for the Upper Palatinate therefore moves through Nuremberg (NUE) about 60 kilometres to the west or Munich (MUC) roughly 110 kilometres south, both reached by truck via the A3 and A93 motorways. For a forwarder, Hohenfels is not a departure point but at most a surface delivery address subject to military access rules.
