Mukachevo (air base)
Mukachevo is an air base in Ukraine located 6 km southwest of Mukachevo. During the Cold War it served as a small interceptor base. The airfield had a loop taxiway with many parking revetments. The air base has since been moved to Stryi Air Base, leaving the airfield standing abandoned and empty.As of July 2008, the city and oblast authorities are seeking investors to modernize the airfield and turn in into an international airport. The new airport would replace Uzhhorod International Airport as Zakarpattia's main air link. Its proposed advantages over Uzhhorod will be a more centralized location, as well as its location completely within Ukrainian airspace
