Kiel Airport (German: Flughafen Kiel, IATA: KEL, ICAO: EDHK) is a small regional airport in Kiel, Germany. Located in the borough of Holtenau, 8.3 km (5.2 mi) north of the city centre, it is registered as a public airfield (German: Verkehrslandeplatz). In 2006, it served 30,528 passengers annually. Built in 1914 on a plain area created from material dug out during the construction of the Kiel Canal, the aerodrome was operated by the Kiel Airport Company (German: Kieler Flughafengesellschaft) from 1927 as the State Airport of Kiel (German: Landflughafen Kiel). During this period, it served 27 national and international destinations. In 1937, the airport became a military airbase but continued to be used for civilian flights, including scheduled flights to Braunschweig and Berlin (Tempelhof). Its taxiways were extended in 1963, and a first terminal was built in 1965.
