Unlike the usual chaotic scenes you usually see in an airport, this one is mostly empty.

For most of the year, this tiny airport doesn’t get any visitors. With just three flights a day, it’s one of Europe’s smallest hubs and you’ll often see it mostly empty.

As one of the world’s smallest airports, there’s not many destinations listed on the departed board.

On TikTok, one person showed a clip of the airport as they waited for their flight.

The usual chaos of an airport is nowhere to be seen in the video. Instead, the airport is empty with barely any people around at all.

Ostrava airport, in the Czech Republic, gets around two to three daily commercial flights.

During the off season, from October to April, it is usually empty, says the TikToker.

The airport is only usually busy in the summer season when flights operate on behalf of travel agencies.

The airport’s most popular flights are to London. These flights are run by Ryanair every two days. Ostrava airport is also known as Ostrava-Mosnov International Airport and it is the second largest airport in the Czech Republic.

The international airport offers one domestic flight from Ostrava.

You’ll find the airport located just over three hours away from Prague, near to the Polish border. The city of Ostrava is known for its architecture, historic sites, and its industrial heritage.

For anyone planning on taking a trip to the city, you should visit the Dolní Vítkovice. This historic point of interest was once one of the largest coal and iron production sites in Europe.

Today it is a cultural heritage area representing one of the most impressive examples of 19th-century industrial architecture.

After 162 years of operation, the Czech Republic’s “Iron Heart” has become a National Monument with furnaces, coke ovens, and brick buildings converted into museums and art spaces, says Lonely Planet.

If you’re passing through Europe’s smallest airport, you can’t miss out on seeing this iconic spot.
