## Description

A single runway (01/19) and the adjacent Kuchyňa firing range mark Malacky/Kuchyňa Air Base (ICAO: LZMC), home of the Slovak Air Force's 'General Milan Rastislav Štefánik' Transport Wing with its C-27J Spartan and L-410 Turbolet aircraft. The base lies near Kuchyňa in western Slovakia, north of Bratislava at the foot of the Little Carpathians and about 25 km east of the Austrian border. It carries military airlift but no civilian scheduled service and no commercial cargo. Regional air freight is handled at Bratislava (BTS), roughly 40 km to the southeast, with Vienna (VIE) some 60 km west as a second option. For forwarders, LZMC is a military field, not a cargo point.
