Oostwold Airport (Dutch: Vliegveld Oostwold, also known as Groningen Airport Oostwold, ICAO: EHOW), is a small general aviation airport in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands.
The airport is located in Oostwold, a village in municipality of Scheemda, 3 NM (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) north of the city of Winschoten.
The airport is limited to 4,800 aircraft movements a year by the Dutch aviation authorities (an aircraft movement being either a take-off or a landing) and has limited and irregular opening hours.
Except for flights from Schengen countries, no international flights are allowed. Every so many years, Oostwold organises an airshow weekend, featuring many classic aircraft. As a result, it is slowly gaining a reputation of being 'the Duxford of the Low Countries'.
