Mannheim City Airport (formerly Mannheim-Neuostheim) serves [Mannheim, Germany. It is operated and administrated by Rhein-Neckar Flugplatz GmbH.

History Aviation in Mannheim started with the airship constructors Schütte-Lanz in 1909. Their first airship, called SL 1, lifted off from Mannheim-Rheinau (Baden) in 1911. With the growing importance of airships for military purposes, a new airfield with hangars and barracks was opened in the north of Mannheim, where the Schönau am Königsee district is located today. By the end of World War I, 22 airships had been built in Mannheim. In 1922 all hangars had to be demolished, complying with the conditions imposed by the treaty of Versailles.

The first Airport in Mannheim was founded on May 16, 1925 as Flughafen Mannheim-Heidelberg-Ludwigshafen in the northern district of Sandhofen. With its opening Mannheim became part of an important Air Track, running from north to south and viceversa. In the late 1920s and early 1930s Deutsche Aero Lloyd operated cargo and passenger flights from Hamburg to Zurich stopping in Mannheim. Balair from Switzerland flew between Geneva and Amsterdam via Basel, Mannheim, Frankfurt and Essen. Badisch-Pfälzische Luftverkehrs A.G operated the black forest route to Konstanz, via Karlsruhe, Baden Baden and Villingen.

In 1926 the airfield was transferred to Mannheim-Neuostheim, its present site. The same year Lufthansa was founded in Berlin. A Lufthansa route map of the 1930s shows scheduled flights from Mannheim to Frankfurt via Darmstadt and other destinations, like Stuttgart, Saarbrücken and Konstanz. In 1939 Lufthansa flew nonstop to the capital Berlin using variousJunkers (Aircraft) aircraft.

During World War II the airport was severely damaged. After the war the airport was occupied by Military of the United States and temporarily used as a transmitter site. The terminal building and hangars were partly demolished and partly refurbished. The airfield was reopened to the public in 1958, but with the growing size of postwar aircraft, Mannheim-Neuostheim was no longer served by any major airline and mainly used for private flying.

In 1986, DRF (Deutsche Rettungsflugwacht, e. V.) installed an air rescue centre at MHG . Scheduled passenger flights did not start again until the 1980s when Arcus-Air Logistic operated flights between Mannheim and Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich, using Dornier Do 228 aircraft. These flights were offered up to three times daily, depending on demand . Besides cargo flights the airline added three weekly passenger flights to Leipzig and Dresden in 1991 . In 1997 Arcus-Air Logistic (Arcus-Air Logistic) was founded in Mannheim and started nonstop flights to Tempelhof International Airport and London City Airport using the larger Dornier Do 328 turboprop. Due to lack of demand, the London route was suspended one year later.

Up until that time, a provisional container building had been used as the terminal, but new facilities opened in 1999. In the same year Cosmos Air was taken over by Cirrus Airlines, continuing the flights to Berlin and opening other new routes. With the entry of Cirrus Airlines into Team Lufthansa in 2000, the crane (bird) came back to Mannheim after 60 years of absence. Cirrus Airlines left Team Lufthansa in 2004 and is now flying as an official Lufthansa Partner, with Mannheim still appearing in the Lufthansa itinerary. In 2002 Mannheim-Neuostheim was officially renamed Mannheim City Airport. In 2006, the airport celebrated its 80th birthday. On July 17, 2007 the two millionth passenger of Cirrus Airlines was greeted at MHG.

Location The airport is located 3.5 km (2.2 mi) east of the city center in the district of Neuostheim.

It is surrounded by highways to the east (B38) and the west (A659), there is a power transmission line to the east and several High-rise buildings to the west making Mannheim City a challenging airport. Because of its proximity to the city centre, there have been frequent discussions about relocating the airport to Coleman Airfield, allowing a possible growth. But these plans have been rejected after a new terminal building was erected at the present site.The airport has its own control zone, neighboring control zones are Heidelberg and Coleman.

Runways The airport possesses two runways: one paved main runway (09/27) and a parallel grass runway (for gliding and ballooning only). The airport is in operation at day and night. The paved runway 09/27 offers Precision Approach Path Indicator and illumination in both directions, RWY 27 offers LLZ/DME approach, but no Instrument Landing System, RWY 09 is usable under VFR only. A separate, illuminated and signposted taxiway is available.Aircraft up to 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) are allowed to land at the airport.Due to numerous obstacles around the airport and the short runways, Mannheim does not comply with IFALPA standards, thus it gets a very unsatisfactory "red star" every year from the German Airline Pilot’s Association (Vereinigung Cockpit), along with few other regional airports.

Terminal The sand-lime brick designed Airport terminal building, built by architect Prof. Peter Serini, opened in 1999. In its arched central section it offers two check-in counters, a security passenger checkpoint, a waiting area, a baggage claim area a ticketing office and an electronic flight schedule. In addition it accommodates a snack-bar, airline offices, a police station and a Flight training. The terminal is topped by a new control tower. On the airside, lucent blue capital letters form the word "Mannheim". A secured, partly free carpark is available. The tram lines 5 and 6 connect the airport with the city centre within 10 minutes. An electronic Lufthansa check-in counter was removed again, after the liquidation of Team Lufthansa. Since January, 2007 Cirrus Airlines passengers can check-in only 20 minutes prior scheduled departure.

Around the Terminal Close to the current terminal, there are parts of the former terminal building, including the old tower, now used as a popular restaurant and biergarten (Lindbergh). Beside the old terminal a huge fitness club (Pfitzenmeier) opened its doors in 2000. A pilot shop (Friebe Luftfahrtbedarf) can be found next to the Multi-storey car park. A secured gate leads to the apron.

Air Traffic The airport is mainly used for general aviation. Several companies, such as SAP AG, BASF, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen or Bilfinger Berger have their business jets based at MHG. The aerodrome also serves as an important heliport for medical or Very Important Person transports. 50% of all night movements are ambulance flights. DRF (Deutsche Rettungsflugwacht, e. V.) is present with ambulance helicopters. Two flying schools (FTC Euroflight and LGM) and two Aero Clubs (Badisch Pfälzischer Flugsportverein and Segelflugverein Mannheim) are established at Mannheim City. There is glider activity during good weather. Business jets can be chartered by Cirrus Aviation, EAS (Executive Air Service) and ATB Flugdienst GmbH. The largest aircraft that ever landed at Mannheim City was a Transall of the German Air Force on a special flight in 1998.

Scheduled Services

There are seasonal flights to Heringsdorf connecting through Berlin Tempelhof International Airport.In the past Cirrus Airlines also operated scheduled flights to Dresden, Olbia and Kiel, the latter served by a Beech King Air.

Passenger Volume The passenger volume ranged between 10.000 and 20.000 passengers per year from 1990 till 1997. With the opening of the new terminal, numbers increased rapidly, but after 9/11 and the introduction of new regulations the passenger volume decreased to 86.000 in 2004 and dropped further down to 68.500 passengers in 2005. 46.936 movements were counted in 2005.Compared to 2006, passenger volume has increased in 2007 by 20 % on the flights between Mannheim and Hamburg and by 11,9 % on the flights between Mannheim and Berlin.

Maintenance Facilities Cirrus Technik operates a Maintenance, repair and operations facility for Dornier Do 328 turboprop aircraft.

Ground Service

Frequencies

The Future Due to its problematic Location (geography), an extension of the airport is nearly impossible, avoiding up-to-date regional jets , like the Canadair Regional Jet or the Embraer 145, to operate from MHG.Beyond that, there already is a wide range of fast-growing and established airports in the region, thus Mannheim is well connected to world Air Traffic above-average, as listed below: All these airports can be reached within maximum an hour and a half.However, concerning business flights, Mannheim remains an attractive location, hence two new hangars for up to three jets have been built in 2006.

With the closure of the centrally located Tempelhof International Airport on October 31, 2008 all flights to Berlin operated by Cirrus Airlines will be relocated to Tegel International Airport.With the introduction of the new Joint Aviation Regulations-OPS 2 regulation, strict weight restrictions have been imposed, allowing only smaller and lighter airplanes to land at MHG.Analyses by the Rhine-Neckar chamber of commerce say that new scheduled international connections to London City Airport or Vienna International Airport are thinkable in the next years.
