Top ten (twenty?) busiest GA airfields in your country?

eventually probably. 2020 or beyond.

LSZH(work) LSZF (GA base), Switzerland

I read that the neighboring communes’ opposition has just been dismissed, so was wondering whether it’s actually going to happen faster.

Not likely. These things take time in Switzerland.

The federal civil aviation office (FOCA) now has a task to prepare a plan for operation of the airfield, called a SIL (Sachplans Infrastruktur Luftfahrt) for presentation to the federal ministers (Bundesrat) by March 2019. This will involve consultation with essentially everyone who could conceivably have an interest in such a plan, but primarily all the various levels of government down to the civic level and including the future operator (a company in which AOPA Switzerland is a shareholder). And in true Swiss tradition, this will involve time, negotiation, and compromise.

For those who can read German:
SIL-Prozess für den Flugplatz Dübendorf gestartet
The page can also be displayed in French or Italian, for our colleagues speaking one of those romance languages.

LSZK, Switzerland

I believe Greece’s list would be the following:

These three account maybe for 80-90% of the traffic:
Tatoi LGTT
Megara LGMG
Kavala LGKV

Some more from these:
Thessaloniki LGTS
Rhodes LGRP
Athens LGAV
Kerkira LGKR

The rest not so much.

LGMT (Mytilene, Lesvos, Greece), Greece

Could someone please have a go at a list of about 20 airports which are GA-busy even at this time of the year, for Germany and Austria?

I am going to send out some leaflets.

It needs to be airports which have a literature stand/rack. Not aeroclubs because I did 70 of those recently (the postage wasn’t cheap) and got absolutely zero results

I reckon places like Zell am See will be good for this.

Many thanks

Except Hildesheim none of these are in Northern Germany which doesn’t seem right to me. Unfortunately I have yet to see objective statistics about GA movements in Germany and thus don’t have any fact-based advice on which other airfields should qualify.

LOAN is always busy.
