## Description

Žilina is best known as the home of a major Kia plant — flying here, by contrast, happens on a small scale: Dolný Hričov airfield (IATA: ILZ, ICAO: LZZI) west of the city has lost its scheduled services and today serves general aviation. A special role falls to the University of Žilina, which uses the field as a training airfield for its pilot degree programmes. Set in the Váh valley between the Malá Fatra and Javorníky ranges, arrivals and departures are scenically rewarding. No air cargo is handled; the nearest cargo alternative is Ostrava (IATA: OSR, approx. 70 km).
