Location

Mannheim, Germany

Mannheim City Airport (IATA: MHG, ICAO: EDFM) is a small general aviation and business aviation airport located within the city limits of Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It sits on a strip of land between the Rhine and Neckar rivers, making it one of the more unusually positioned airports in Germany geographically. The airport primarily serves private pilots, flight training, and business charter operations rather than scheduled commercial airline services. Its central urban location offers convenience for business travelers arriving by private or charter aircraft. Due to its limited runway length and urban surroundings, Mannheim City Airport cannot accommodate large commercial jets, and travelers seeking major airline connections typically use nearby Frankfurt Airport or Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport.

The Jungbusch neighbourhood nearby is known for its diverse and casual dining scene.
