Uzhhorod International Airport – UDJ Uzhhorod

Situated in and serving the city of Uzhhorod and the entire Zakarpattia Oblast in the Ukraine is the small Uzhhorod International Airport. Due to its location adjacent to the Slovakian border, it has a unique operating feature where a special treaty allows its planes to use Slovak airspace for landings and takeoffs because its runway begins 90 meters from the Ukrainian-Slovak international border.
