Nice aerodrome with an IFR approach. Very quiet. Everything is easy and straightforward. During hours when the aerodrome is closed, a security guard opens the doors. A 10-minute walk from the terminal there is a small, simple but good restaurant right on the sea. Popular with local pilots for a $100 pizza.

Nice Info/AFIS aerodrome on the island’s northeastern coast with little scheduled traffic. There is an RNP and an NDB approach. VFR arrival without fixed routes in coordination with AFIS – flight plan required!
Outside AFIS duty hours there is apparently a security guard present who can let you out of the premises – prior coordination is advisable.

AFIS with perfect English, everyone very helpful overall. Also consider AIP Supplements for long-term planning (events, temporary restricted areas, etc.).

The island offers a few quiet beaches, some sights, and otherwise a lot of forest. A car is highly recommended for exploring. We got one at short notice and without bureaucracy from Tevi Car (tevi.ee, cash only, taxi Airport – Tevi approx. 12 EUR).

Fees at 1.4 t: landing approx. 16 EUR, nav charge approx. 6 EUR, parking just under 4 EUR/day.
