Sylt Airport is the airport on the German island of Sylt located in the municipality of the same name. It mostly features summer seasonal scheduled traffic to major German cities as well as general aviation and gliding. Sometimes the airport is referred to as ''Westerland/Sylt'' named after Westerland, a well-known part of the municipality of Sylt which however is not the nearest settlement to the airport. ==History== The island of Sylt used to be a famous destination for leisure and holidays back in the beginning of the 20th century. Sylt's first small airport was established right after World War I and in 1919 first scheduled routes to Weimar, Hamburg and Berlin commenced.〔(flughafen-sylt.de - Historie ) 〕 During World War II the airport was significantly redeveloped and enlarged to serve as a military base. In the 1960s the leisure traffic came back and developed strongly from the 1970s onwards.〔 In 1990 Sylt Airport received new technical equipment as well as new passenger facilities.〔 Today it is capable of handling medium-sized aircraft such as the Boeing 737. In June 2015, Lufthansa CityLine announced to expand their services to Sylt by changing the formerly seasonal flights from Frankfurt and Munich to year-round operations.〔http://www.airliners.de/lufthansa-drehkreuze-winter-sylt/35859〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sylt Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
