Eindhoven Airport receives positive ratings from residents of the Brainport region

Research conducted by Motivaction in 2025 shows that residents of the Brainport region have a positive basic attitude towards the airport. For the third consecutive year, this basic attitude has increased. In 2025, 76% of those surveyed were positive to very positive about Eindhoven Airport, compared to 75% the previous year. In 2023, the basic attitude was still 74%.

According to the respondents, Eindhoven Airport is seen as important for the city and the region. The report states that four out of five residents consider the airport (very) important (81%), which is stable compared to 2024.

A large majority see the airport as important for regional development (75%) and as a logical partner for regional organisations (66%). Two thirds regard the airport as a source of pride for the region. Most residents (65%) prefer the scenario in which the size of the airport remains as it is now. Growth is considered acceptable by just over half, while shrinkage is more often regarded as unacceptable than last year.

Nuisance and sustainability remain important themes, but are mentioned less often than in 2024. Most residents are neutral or positive about the proximity of the airport, with 4% being (very) negative. Noise nuisance is generally hardly experienced. Only 5-6% experience inconvenience.

The report analyses data from four periodic surveys among a total of 1,095 residents living in postcode areas in the Eindhoven region. The aim of the annual survey is to gain insight into the image residents have of the airport.
