Small island airfield serving Texel in the Dutch Wadden Sea.

Location

De Cocksdorp, Netherlands

Texel International Airport (ICAO: EHTX) is a small general aviation aerodrome located on Texel, the largest of the Dutch Wadden Islands, near the village of De Cocksdorp in the Netherlands. Despite its tongue-in-cheek 'International' designation, the airport primarily serves recreational and private flying, flight training, and occasional charter traffic rather than scheduled commercial airline services. The airfield is situated in a scenic coastal environment and is popular with light aircraft pilots and flying clubs. It plays an important role in connecting the island to the Dutch mainland for private and air taxi operations, given that Texel is otherwise accessible mainly by ferry.

Terminals

The airport has a small, basic terminal facility suited to general aviation and private operations rather than large-scale passenger processing.
