Enschede Airport Twente (IATA: ENS, ICAO: EHTW) is located near Enschede, The Netherlands. It serves both as a civil and military airport. The latter is scheduled to be closed completely by 2007 after which it will be a civil airport only. When it was still a military airport it was used mainly as a base for F-16s from the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the last of which left in November 2005.
There are currently no scheduled flights from the airport, but there are a few charter airlines such as Transavia and Thomas Cook operating from the airport flying mainly Boeing 737s. Some of the destinations served by charters from Twente are Las Palmas, Dalaman, Antalya, Mallorca and Lourdes.
