Vodochody Airport (LKVO/VOD) is a small international airport in the Central Bohemian Region, about 10 km north of Prague, adjacent to the Aero Vodochody aircraft factory. Originally a military airfield, it now handles business aviation, flight training, and general aviation, with a single paved runway. It is not a major commercial passenger hub but serves as a reliever for Prague-area private and charter flights.
💡 Local Tip
Because the airport is co-located with Aero Vodochody, you may see L-39 Albatros or L-159 test flights; photography around the factory perimeter can be sensitive, so ask airport staff before taking pictures.
🚖 Getting There
Vodochody Airport has no direct rail link; the most reliable options are taxi, ride-hailing, or rental car from Prague, typically 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Public buses run from Prague to nearby Vodochody/Postřižín, but services are limited and may require a short taxi or walk to the airport. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours on the D8 motorway.
