Airport Den Helder

Introduction

Located on the coast, Airport Den Helder forms the link between safety, energy, and innovation. The airport is of strategic importance for both civil and military tasks: from maritime patrol and defense to offshore logistics and the energy transition in the North Sea. The municipality, province, and Defense are working together on a future-proof development of the airport, with space for new hangars, sustainable fuels, and manufacturing companies.

An important step is the joint development of maritime drones — smart, clean aircraft that contribute to safety, monitoring, and maintenance at sea. In this way, Airport Den Helder is growing into a testing ground for the aviation of the future, and a powerful engine within the Maritime Cluster Den Helder.
