## Description

Westerland Sylt Airport (IATA: GWT, ICAO: EDXW) is located on the North Sea island of Sylt in Schleswig-Holstein at approximately 16 metres — Germany's northernmost airport. The airport connects the island of Sylt — an exclusive tourist destination — with the mainland via scheduled and charter flights; no commercial cargo operations take place here. The island is also accessible by car-train (Sylt Shuttle) via the Hindenburgdamm causeway. For air freight from Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg Airport (IATA: HAM) is the nearest cargo option.
