## Description

Kiel-Holtenau Airport (IATA: KEL, ICAO: EDHK) is located directly on the Kiel Canal in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, at approximately 31 metres. The airport primarily serves general aviation, business flying, and naval aviation — no regular scheduled services or commercial cargo. Ambulance and air-rescue flights and target-towing sorties for the Bundeswehr also use the field. For air freight from Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg Airport (IATA: HAM), approximately 90 km to the south, is the nearest full cargo option.
