One airport in Europe barely gets any visitors for most of the year, with just three flights a day. It’s not only one of the smallest in Europe, but one of the smallest in the world.
One person who visited the airport showed a clip of them waiting for their flight, and it’s a far cry from the chaos and congestion of an ordinary airport. Instead, the airport is empty with barely any people around at all. Ostrava Airport, in the Czech Republic, gets around three daily commercial flights – and sometimes it’s even less at just two!
From October to April, it is usually empty due to it being the off-season, says @flywithlinna on TikTok.
The airport is usually only busy in the summer season when flights operate on behalf of travel agencies.
According to Airports Worldwide, the airport is a major economic and industrial centre for the area, despite being so small.
If you’re hoping to head to this airport, then the most popular flights which run from there are to London – Ryanair flies there every two days.
Ostrava Airport is also known as Ostrava-Mosnov International Airport, and it is the second-largest airport in the Czech Republic. At present, there is one domestic flight offered from Ostrava.
The city is the transport and logistics hub of the north-eastern part of the Czech Republic.
Its airport is located just over three hours from Prague and near the Polish border.
If you are flying to or from this airport, you should stop off at the Dolní Vítkovice. This historic point of interest was once one of the largest coal and iron production sites in Europe.
Today, it is a cultural heritage area representing one of the most impressive examples of 19th-century industrial architecture.
After 162 years of operation, the Czech Republic’s “Iron Heart” has become a National Monument with furnaces, coke ovens, and brick buildings converted into museums and art spaces, says Lonely Planet.
If you’re hoping to visit this part of Europe, flights are available to the tiny airport from the UK, but you’ll have to make a stop off at Warsaw Chopin Airport to get there.
