Location

Ronneby, Sweden

Ronneby Airport (IATA: RNB, ICAO: ESDF) is a combined civil and military airport located near Ronneby in Blekinge County, southern Sweden. It serves as a regional airport for the Blekinge region, including the nearby city of Karlskrona, which is the county seat and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
