It is a small airport, serving Uzhhorod and the whole oblast. The airport's runway begins 90 meters from the Ukrainian-Slovak international border, so planes must use Slovak airspace for some take-offs and landings under special treaty.[3][4]

On 24 February 2022, Ukraine closed airspace to civilian flights due to Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]

History

The airport was not operational from 2016 (except for several months in 2019 when Motor Sich Airlines tried to operate flights) until June 2021.[6][7][3] At the end of 2018, the airport received a certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).[3] On 15 March 2019, the airport resumed servicing regular flights.[3] On 24 September 2020, Slovakia and Ukraine signed an agreement on the above-mentioned special treaty.[3][8] Windrose Airlines performed the first regular flight on the route Kyiv - Uzhhorod on 2 June 2021.[6] On 9 September 2021 the airport became fully operational.[9] Until then, flights were carried out according to the so-called visual flight rules.[9] All civilian flights were stopped during the Russian invasion of 2022. If Russia was to target the airport using missiles with bad precision, a missile countries accidentally land on Slovak territory. This means that Russia would be bombing an EU or NATO member. [10]
