Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava


Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava, formerly Ostrava-Mošnov International Airport, is the airport of the city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, a major economic and industrial centre. It is located to the southwest of the city and also acts as a point of entry to northern Moravia and Czech Silesia. Originally called Mošnov, in 2006 the airport was renamed after the Czech composer Leoš Janáček.
NATO Days in Ostrava, a military air show, has been an event at the airport since 2003.

Facilities

The airport is open 24 hours daily. As well as being able to serve aircraft as large as an Antonov An-124, the airport has a heliport that allows it to serve helicopters, alongside fixed-wing aircraft. Due to its distance from the city centre, there are no noise restrictions enforced at the airport.
Construction of a new terminal started in July 2005. It cost CZK 320 million and opened on 13 December 2006. In 2008 a new maintenance hangar was opened. A new railway station from the international airport terminal was opened in 2015.
