Eindhoven Airport has confirmed it will shut down completely for nearly half a year due to a major runway renovation.
The dates are confirmed: the airport will be fully closed to air traffic from February 1 to July 19, 2027. That covers both commercial and military operations, so expect a much quieter sky over Eindhoven for the better part of the year.
What does this mean for passengers?
Unfortunately, all airlines have cancelled or suspended all flights scheduled for this period.
You might be wondering, “Can I still find cheap tickets in 2027?” Well, you still can.
According to RTV Maastricht, all flights normally departing from Eindhoven will temporarily move to Maastricht Aachen Airport.
Meanwhile, the bus to Eindhoven Airport will run on a limited schedule, and only the P1 lot will remain open for short-term parking.
Why does the runway need this much work?
Over at Eindhoven Airport, the runway is getting a complete reconstruction from scratch.
The airport has just one runway, so it needs to be fully out of service for the job to be done properly.
To those who hate flying from Eindhoven, the revamped airport will hopefully change your mind.
As part of the renovation, the runway will be widened, an extra taxi track will be added, and, best of all, a brand new Category 3 Instrument Landing System will be implemented.

This technology allows an aircraft to take off and land in extremely dense fog. Meaning, passengers can expect fewer delays and headaches when flying from Eindhoven Airport.
