Location

Wurster Nordseeküste, Germany

Sea-Airport Cuxhaven/Nordholz is a dual-use facility located near Wurster Nordseeküste in Lower Saxony, Germany. It serves both as a German Navy (Deutsche Marine) base — Marinefliegergesetz Nordholz — and as a small civil airport offering limited scheduled and charter passenger services. The airbase hosts naval aviation operations including maritime patrol aircraft, and the civil side has historically served leisure and regional traffic to the North Sea coast area. Its IATA code FCN and ICAO code ETMN reflect its combined military and civil status.
