Saint-Hubert Airfield (ICAO: EBSH) is a public use airfield located near Saint-Hubert, Belgium, Luxembourg, Wallonia, Belgium.

It is the second highest aerodrome in Belgium at 1,847 ft (563 m) above sea level. It has four grass runways, in two parallel pairs, almost perpendicular; several aircraft hangars are rented on the site. It is located in the heart of the Ardennes, in uncontrolled airspace.

History

Initially created as an aviation school in 1930, the airfield was used as a US Army center in 1945. It was sold to the Belgian state in 1946 and served as a backup airport for the city of Ostend, in case Melsbroek or Brussels Airport were to be unusable.[citation needed] It has a long tradition in glider flying.
