Uzhhorod International Airport, (Ukrainian: Міжнародний аеропорт «Ужгород») (IATA: UDJ, ICAO: UKLU) is an international airport located in the city of Uzhhorod, in the western Ukrainian province of Zakarpattia. It is a small airport, serving Uzhhorod and the whole oblast.
The airport is unique in its operation: the runway begins 90 meters from the Ukrainian-Slovakian international border, so planes must use Slovak airspace for take-offs and landings.

Famous quotes containing the word airport:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
