## Description

The code LHA marks Airport Lahr (ICAO: EDTL), a former Canadian air base in Germany's Black Forest that has reinvented itself around outsize freight. Licensed as a special cargo airport since 2002, its 3,000-metre runway can take aircraft of any size, up to the Boeing 747 and the Antonov An-124 used for oversized and project loads. The Lahrer Flugbetriebs company has run the field since October 2013. There is no scheduled line-haul cargo; Lahr works on ad-hoc and charter freight flights alongside seasonal passenger charters. For regular express and general air freight in the Upper Rhine region, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (BSL) and Frankfurt (FRA) are the nearest options, with the A5 motorway linking Lahr to that Basel–Frankfurt logistics corridor.
