The airport, in a proposal document, noted “Strasbourg Airport is strategically located, both economically and diplomatically, in the centre of the
EU.
Serving the European capital and the 21 European institutions based there, Strasbourg Airport hosts significant business aviation activity (for both diplomatic and economic reasons), which will develop strongly in the coming years along with the development of this type of aviation”.
The airport stated that in order to meet upcoming demand for business aviation and to meet demand in the sector, infrastructure needs to be well-equipped.

positions to cover an area of 8,400 m²,

apron,
• Implementation of EASA standards for the entire zone,
• The creation of a new access road to the zone and the demolition of old military buildings

apron, in the construction and/or operation of the buildings, - in the management and development of an FBO, a VIP lounge, and hangars, guaranteeing a
high level of service quality,
