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.
Terminals
The airport has a single, small passenger terminal with limited facilities suited to its low annual passenger throughput.
Getting to & from
The airport is accessible by taxi, private car, and bus connections to Pardubice city center, which is also served by rail links to Prague and other Czech cities.
Airlines here

Pardubice is also famous for its traditional gingerbread, worth trying at local shops near the historic square.

Traveller Tips

  • Pre-book taxis or transfers as on-demand options can be scarce outside peak flight times.
  • The historic Pardubice city centre and its Renaissance castle are only about 4 km away — worth a visit if time allows.
  • Check flight schedules carefully, as commercial operations are primarily seasonal charter services with limited year-round routes.
