FKB / Baden-Airpark: former Canadian base converted in 1997
Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport (IATA code FKB, ICAO code EDSB), also known as Baden-Airpark, is located in Rheinmunster on the site of the former Canadian air base of Sollingen. Canadian air forces were stationed there until their withdrawal in 1993, then the site was converted into a civilian airport in 1997 as part of the post-Cold War military base conversion programme.
With about 1 million passengers per year, FKB is a medium-sized airport with a single compact terminal, much faster for check-in than Stuttgart STR or Frankfurt FRA. Its speciality: European low-cost connections operated mainly by Ryanair (which has made it one of its regular hubs) and Wizz Air, plus seasonal TUI and Corendon charters. No direct long-haul flights.
Ryanair and Wizz Air network: Berlin, London, Edinburgh, Eastern Europe
Ryanair is FKB's main operator with a broad European network: Berlin BER several weekly frequencies, London Stansted (low-cost alternative to London Heathrow Air France), Edinburgh, Hamburg, Rome Ciampino, Porto, plus sun destinations (Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Lanzarote). Wizz Air complements with an Eastern Europe cluster: Sofia, Bucharest, Belgrade, Tirana.
For Alsace B2B clients, FKB offers a competitive alternative to Strasbourg-Entzheim on destinations like Berlin (Ryanair direct 1h30 vs 8h train via Paris), London (1h45 flight vs 5h train via Paris-Lille) or Edinburgh (2h flight vs 12h+ via London or Amsterdam). The FJ13 Mercedes V-Class boot is sized for bulky Ryanair hold suitcases (20 kg).
Festspielhaus Baden-Baden: leading German classical concert hall
Baden-Baden is one of Germany's most prestigious cultural destinations. The Festspielhaus, inaugurated in 1998 on the site of the former city railway station, is Germany's largest classical concert hall with 2,500 seats. It hosts the Berliner Philharmoniker as resident orchestra for the Easter Festival (Osterfestspiele) and regularly programmes Anna Netrebko, Daniel Barenboim, Lang Lang, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and major international ensembles.
FKB is 12 km from the Festspielhaus, 15 minutes via L75 and B500. FJ13 organises direct FKB to Festspielhaus transfers for classical clients (often residents of Strasbourg, Karlsruhe or Stuttgart), with drop-off close to the artist entrance or VIP parking, and return to Baden-Baden hotels (Brenners Park-Hotel, Steigenberger Europaischer Hof, Roomers) or Strasbourg hotels after the concert.
