★★★★★8 months agoOne of the best airports I've yet flown into - not because of its size, rather its position. Lovely landscape and seeing the airplanes while you're at it 😍 Yes, I went planespotting there because that's what I like to do with my free time (other than travelling) ✈️ (These images are from December 2024)
Per
★★★★★6 months agoThis small airport is a great example of super efficent compared to micro size airport. Excellent observer deck to se all airplanse and nice cantene service. I will recomend the taxfree shop the real one and is not like the boring types at Frankfurt and Copenhagen as an example where have high price and the same stuff.
