Malacky/Kuchyňa Air Base

Malacky/Kuchyňa Air Base, designated ICAO code LZMC, is a military airfield located near the town of Kuchyňa in western Slovakia, approximately 30 kilometres north of Bratislava. It serves as a facility for the Slovak Air Force and has historically been used for military aviation operations. The base has roots in the Cold War era, when it functioned as part of the Czechoslovak and later Slovak military aviation infrastructure. It is not open to commercial passenger traffic and has no scheduled civilian airline services. The airfield sits in the Záhorie region of western Slovakia and has periodically been discussed in relation to potential dual-use or civilian development, though it remains primarily a military installation.
