Eastern Slovakia's main air gateway, Košice Airport (IATA: KSC, ICAO: LZKZ), pairs a record passenger year — about 625,000 in 2023 — with a working cargo operation for central and eastern Europe. Ryanair is the largest carrier, followed by Wizz Air, with Austrian Airlines (Vienna), LOT (Warsaw) and Swiss (Zurich) also serving the city. The airport runs a dedicated cargo terminal offering warehousing, customs clearance, trucking and airside handling, focused on express and regional distribution and on temperature-controlled goods such as pharmaceuticals and perishables. Freight moves mainly as belly cargo and by road feeder service to larger hubs; there are no scheduled main-deck freighters. For intercontinental main-deck capacity, Budapest (BUD, about 210 km), Vienna (VIE) or Kraków remain the nearest large cargo hubs. For eastern Slovak industry, KSC is the direct on-ramp to air freight.
