AAS Hangar Access Road is only useful if you’re using the AAS hangars
This short local access road sits on the south side of Augsburg Airport and feeds directly to the Augsburg Air Service (AAS) hangar complex, not the GAT terminal. It matters if your aircraft is parked in an AAS hangar or you’re meeting a business jet there, and it’s basically irrelevant for anyone flying scheduled traffic out of GAT.
The road connects from the public airport approach near the 86169 Augsburg address and runs straight to the AAS facilities, which handle general aviation and business aviation traffic. If your handling agent or operator email mentions “Augsburg Air Service hangar” rather than “GAT,” this is the road they mean when they say “drive to the hangar entrance.”
Most crews using the AAS Hangar Access Road arrive by car or minibus arranged by their operator, often timed for a 30–45 minute pre‑departure show time. You pull up directly in front of the AAS hangar doors or office entrance, where ground staff handle security checks and escort you airside, instead of walking through the GAT building used by other private flights.
Business passengers meeting their aircraft at an AAS hangar usually get a PDF map with one or two photos showing the exact turnoff for the AAS Hangar Access Road from the main airport approach. Keep that file on your phone; road signage can be small, especially in low light, and the turn only appears once before you end up looping back past the 86169 industrial area.
Taxis and car services around Augsburg often know the GAT code but not the AAS Hangar Access Road by name, so tell the driver “Augsburg Air Service hangars on the south side of Augsburg Airport” and show the 86169 postcode. Your handling agent can also give a German‑language instruction line or pin drop for the driver to avoid a wrong drop at the GAT front door.
One practical tip: before you leave for the airport, confirm in writing whether your flight departs from the GAT terminal or an AAS hangar; that single detail decides if you follow signs to “Terminal / GAT” or turn off onto the AAS Hangar Access Road instead.
