Flugplatzgesellschaft Cottbus-Neuhausen

Flugplatzgesellschaft Cottbus-Neuhausen mbH runs Cottbus/Neuhausen airfield, a public airfield in Lusatia, Germany. Its code is EDAP. The airfield lies at Neuhausen/Spree and calls itself the airport for Lusatia.

Several aviation businesses work on the airfield. They include AEROHELI International, an aviation technical company and Flug-Center Milan. Visitors can take sightseeing flights, book charter flights and try parachuting. Flight training is available for the PPL-A licence, the SPL ultralight licence and helicopters.

The airfield sells JET A-1 and AVGAS 100 LL through an agency of TotalEnergies. It also sells Aero D100 and 15W50 oil. A tax warehouse allows duty-free JET A-1 for eligible aircraft, such as rescue flights, the armed forces, federal police, police and aircraft with an authorisation certificate.

Pilots can pay by electronic cash, cash, invoice or AeroPS. The airfield use order and the rules for airfield traffic can be seen at the flight control office. The airfield also rents out two bicycles, one men's and one women's, for 5 euros a day. Cyclists can ride around the Spremberg reservoir in about 1.5 hours or reach Branitz Castle in about 30 minutes.

The airfield is running a project to upgrade itself with a concept for drone flights beyond visual line of sight, known as BVLOS. Together with the municipality of Neuhausen/Spree and the drone company Droniq, it held an online event on 16 July 2024. The event invited drone makers and operators to show interest in flying drones at EDAP.
