## Description

Runway length says international airport, traffic says otherwise: Ingolstadt Manching (IATA: IGS, ICAO: ETSI) has two paved strips of 2,940 and 2,439 metres yet remains a military airfield with limited civil use. Airbus Defence and Space concentrated its military aircraft development and flight testing here in 2008, and Eurofighter, Tornado and A400M movements share the field with the Bundeswehr's WTD 61 test centre. The civil side, managed by IMA GmbH, serves business aviation, company flights and general aviation, including operators such as Private Wings; there is no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no permanent customs post for air freight. Regional shipments, largely from the Audi supply chain around Ingolstadt, travel by road feeder service to Munich Airport (MUC) some 70 kilometres to the south-east, Bavaria's cargo gateway with freighter operations and customs clearance. Nuremberg (NUE) handles smaller consignments and Frankfurt (FRA) takes intercontinental freight, both well connected by motorway. For forwarders, IGS is an aerospace and business-aviation location rather than a transhipment point.
