History

The airport Cochstedt dates from the year 1957, when an air force base of the Soviet troops was established. In 1968, the runway extension was completed and airport logistics operation expanded. After German reunification and the withdrawal of Soviet troops, the first steps for continued existence as a civil airport were taken.[2]

On 26 May 1994 the airport was given an operating license as a commercial airport with class D airspace and full day and night operation. From November 1997 until early 1999 the operations ware suspended due to a complete refurbishment of the airport, including runway, apron, taxiways, control tower.

In June 2000, an instrument landing system (ILS) Category I and a high-performance approach light were put into operation allowing the operation under instrument flying rules.

In the summer of 2001 a new fire station was put into operation and the construction of a new terminal building for the General Aviation ("GAT") started. However, before works were completed, on 31 December 2001 operation was suspended due to insolvency of the airport operator.

On behalf of the state of Saxony-Anhalt GSA acquired all assets from the bankrupt estate. The new operating company FMC mbH was founded in 2005 jointly with the Landkreis Aschersleben-Staßfurt.

On 4 March 2010 the airport was acquired by the danish company Development A/S.

On 22 December 2010, the airport announced its first scheduled destinations when Ryanair launched 4 new routes to Alicante, Barcelona (Girona), Gran Canaria & Malaga.[3]
