KOšICE AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Košice International Airport

Construction of the airport began in the 1950s near the suburb of Barca. In 1954, construction began on the first part of the new passenger terminal, hangar, and control tower. In 1955, direct flights began between Košice and Prague. In 1962, the power supply was enhanced by more powerful transformers. Increasing traffic required a larger passenger terminal by the mid-1960s. The foundation of the SNP Air Force Academy in 1973 strengthened aviation in the then-republic of Czechoslovakia. Between 1974 and 1977, the runway was increased by 1,100 m (3,600 ft), the power supply rebuilt, and a lighting system installed to meet CAT II ICAO specifications. Military aviation at the airport stopped in 2004.

Another extensive reconstruction of the runways and equipment area took place in 1992–1993. In 2001, the construction of a new terminal began, which was opened in 2004 and was awarded the title Construction of the Year 2005. In 2004, the business company Letisko Košice - Airport Kosice, a.s., was established, to which a strategic partner joined in 2006. In 2007, the handling area was expanded, which increased the number of stands. After the completion of the new terminal, the airport was privatized; currently, the largest share (66%) of business in the airport is held by KSC Holding, a. s., whose majority shareholder is Vienna-Schwechat Airport, and the remaining share (34%) is owned by the Slovak Republic.
