Customs and border clearance
For international flights, you can arrange customs clearance and border control with us.
Customs enquiries and border clearance are free of charge on the part of Flugplatz Koblenz-Winningen GmbH.
Customs clearance
Customs flights must be declared at least 24 hours before departure or arrival by telephone or using the following customs declaration form:
Tel: +49 (0)2606 1030
Regardless of whether customs officials appear for inspection, aircraft flying in from outside the customs community must land with us!
We require the following data from you for registration:
- Registration number of the aircraft
- Airport of departure or destination
- Number of persons on board
- Estimated time of arrival or departure
The customs declaration is required by law. If you have missed the declaration, we are obliged to inform customs subsequently. This can sometimes lead to long delays (depending on the availability of staff).
We expressly point out that flights from or to Switzerland (regardless of the Schengen Agreement) are also subject to customs duty!
Further information can be found on the website of Customs Germany.
Border clearance
If you are travelling from/to Germany to/from a country that is not a member of the Schengen Agreement (so-called third country), you are subject to border controls.
To speed up this check, please send us the following information 24 hours before arrival or departure:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Passport number
- Estimated time of arrival or departure
Border control is mandatory by law. If you have not sent us your data in advance, there may be waiting times at the checkpoint.
