Location
Hof, Germany
Hof-Plauen Airport (IATA: HOQ, ICAO: EDQM) is a small regional airport located near Hof in Bavaria, Germany, close to the border with the state of Saxony and the Czech Republic. It serves the Upper Franconia region as well as the nearby Vogtland area across the border in Saxony. The airport has historically operated limited scheduled and charter services, primarily catering to leisure travelers and general aviation traffic. Its geographic position in a less densely populated part of Germany has constrained the growth of commercial operations over the years. Due to limited scheduled airline traffic, the airport functions largely as a general aviation facility, hosting private flights, flight training, and occasional charter operations. It competes with larger regional hubs such as Nuremberg and Leipzig for commercial passengers.

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to its regional and general aviation traffic volumes.
