'''Uzhhorod International Airport''', ({{lang-uk|Міжнародний аеропорт «Ужгород»}}; {{lang-sk|'''Medzinárodné letisko "Užhorod"'''}}) {{airport codes|UDJ|UKLU}} is an international [[airport]] located in the city of [[Uzhhorod]], in the western [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] [[oblast|province]] of [[Zakarpattia Oblast|Zakarpattia]]. The airport is situated in the westernmost part of the city, in the Chervenytsia district at 145, Sobranetska Street. It is a small airport, serving [[Uzhhorod]] and the whole [[oblast]]. The airport's [[runway]] begins 90 meters from the [[Slovakia–Ukraine border|Ukrainian-Slovak international border]], so planes must use Slovak [[airspace]] for some take-offs and landings under special treaty.<ref name="1111750UzzhAir"/><ref>{{cite web|script-title=uk:Аеропорт "Ужгород" має всі умови для функціонування у звичному режимі|url=http://www.avia.gov.ua/news/novyny/news_avia/25485.html|access-date=19 June 2016|language=uk|date=16 June 2016|archive-date=19 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160619204643/http://www.avia.gov.ua/news/novyny/news_avia/25485.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
