Czech military and civil airport serving the Pardubice region.
Location
Pardubice, Czech Republic
Pardubice Airport (IATA: PED, ICAO: LKPD) is a dual-use military and civilian airport located in Pardubice, in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic, approximately 100 kilometres east of Prague. It serves as a base for the Czech Air Force while also handling limited commercial and charter passenger traffic.
The airport has historically handled seasonal charter flights to holiday destinations, particularly serving travelers from the eastern Bohemia region who prefer an alternative to Prague's Václav Havel Airport. Passenger volumes are modest compared to Prague, and scheduled commercial service has been intermittent over the years.
Due to its shared military-civilian status, the airport operates under specific regulations governing both types of traffic. It has a single runway capable of handling medium-sized commercial aircraft.
