History
The beginning of aviation in Bratislava is associated with the first flight from Prague to Bratislava in October 1929, when the AERO-14 biplane landed at Vajnory airport, there was only one passenger on the ship. Even then it became clear that the proximity to the Carpathian Mountains would not give the existing airport proper development. And in 1946, the country's government decided to build a new airport in the vicinity of the Ivanka settlement, where it is located to this day.
In the early 90s, the airline carried out the reconstruction and expansion of the airport, carrying out technical re-equipment of the runway and dividing the arrival and departure zones of passengers. But with the entry of the country into the Schengen zone, a larger-scale reconstruction of the airport was required. Customs control zones were introduced, in just 16 months a new terminal was built in the departure area, the reconstruction of the old one began, the airport runway was strengthened and expanded, and other measures were taken to improve the operation of the airline. The air harbor is thoroughly prepared for receiving and servicing international flights.
