Breda International Airport, until 2015 Seppe Airfield, {{airport codes||EHSE}} is a small general aviation aerodrome located next to the A58 motorway on the outskirts of Bosschenhoofd, a village in the municipality of Halderberge in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. It is located {{convert|2|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} southwest of Hoeven,{{cite web|url=http://gc.kls2.com/cgi-bin/gc?PATH=51%B034%2739%22N+4%B034%2751%22E-51%B033%2717%22N+004%B033%2709%22E&RANGE=&PATH-COLOR=&PATH-UNITS=mi&PATH-MINIMUM=&SPEED-GROUND=&SPEED-UNITS=kts&RANGE-STYLE=best&RANGE-COLOR=&MAP-STYLE=|title=Distance and heading from Hoeven (51°34'39"N 04°34'51"E) to EHSE (51°33'17"N 04°33'09"E)}} {{convert|7.5|NM|abbr=on}} west from Breda and {{convert|4|NM|abbr=on}} east-northeast of Roosendaal.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 06/24 (previously 07/25), with a length of {{convert|830|m|abbr=on|0}} and a significantly displaced threshold (meaning an area at the beginning of the runway that is not to be used for landing) on either side.

Originally called Seppe Airfield (after the nickname of Bosschenhoofd), the airport started in 1949 as a glider field and has been used by powered aircraft since 1969. In 2002, the grass runway surface was replaced with asphalt. The airfield is not used by aircraft using jet engines. Around 50,000 airplane movements (take-offs or landings) are made at Seppe annually. In February 2014, it was announced that the name of the airport would be changed to Breda International Airport.Seppe Airport Website - [http://www.seppe-airport.com/nl/nieuws/nieuw-logo-en-naam-seppe-airport Nieuw logo en naam Seppe Airport] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150413115247/http://www.seppe-airport.com/nl/nieuws/nieuw-logo-en-naam-seppe-airport |date=April 13, 2015 }} {{in lang|nl}}, article retrieved 30 March 2014.

The airfield additionally houses Aviation Performance Solutions, an aviation training company specializing in Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT).{{cite web|last1=Europe|first1=APS|title=Welcome to APS Europe, The Netherlands|url=http://www.ttcseppe.com/test_training/upset-recovery-training-aps-europe/|website=TTC Seppe|accessdate=23 July 2017}}
