Neuburg Air Base

Neuburg Air Base

Neuburg Air Base is a military air base in Germany. It is located in the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen on the River Danube, approximately 20 km west-southwest of Ingolstadt. Its primary user is Jagdgeschwader 74 of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe), which provides air defence for Southern Germany. Since 2006 Eurofighter Typhoons have been operated from the base. Although Neuburg is the smallest fighter aircraft base in the Bundeswehr, the air base was virtually unaffected by the Bundeswehr reform announced in 2011.
