re: Update
Thanks - I've marked it as closed. Are you sure no one uses it occasionally (gliders, ultralights, etc.?).
re: pilot info
Reply to @juf: Thanks - I've marked the airport as closed for now, and can change the status back when the new runway is ready. I'm guessing it won't be only a glider airport in the future.

Good luck with your project!
re: IATA code?
Reply to @pak21: The 2008 ICAO publication doesn't list any corresponding IATA code for this airport, so I've deleted it. Thanks for catching it.
IATA code?
How sure are we about the IATA code here? Most sources seem to give MCV as being McArthur River Mine Airport, Australia.
WOW!
We're not your personal research facility. If you're not getting the answer you need, then try doing some actual research.

Aerodrome closed long since; appears to have been still active in the early 1990's.
Kaunas airport
Very new.Small but very modern and convenient. Direct flights to Kaunas via Riga from all Europe.
English Destinations
Have any low cost carriers expressed an interst in flying to England?
Beja Airport
Check out this web site link - http://buypropertyalgarve.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/beja-airport-ready-to-open-in-2010/ it sounds like Beja may be opening early 2010
Beja Airport
I can't wait for Beja airport to open - we have friends in Ferreira Do Alentejo so it will save them having to drive the almost 2 hr journey to collect us from Lisbon or Faro.
The (only) Airport in Western Greece during winter
Corfu (Kerkyra) is one of the few Greek airports with normal working hours during the winter (see http://www.ypa.gr/content/index.asp?tid=247&lang=2 - some airports are open only on some days, some are open for only an hour in the evening, etc).
The arrival and stay in Corfu was pleasant. I assume that during the high season the airport may be quite busy.
An important advice: have the AOPA membership card or some proof that you are a flying-club member with you. With proof of club membership, the landing fee is symbolic (some 4 EUR) and you get a hefty discount on handling (some 15-20 EUR). It is rumored that Greeks are trying hard to invite GA guests to their nice places and these discounts are part of this campaign. We can only applaud this attitude and wish other countries would do the same.
Altogether the experience was very nice, although the Greek way (everything can be solved, sometimes a bit slow). ARO is the tower: they were very friendly and helpful in planning and arranging the flight through Greek airspace.
For a 100$ hamburger type of stay (in reality it is a 600 EUR Greek dinner), there is quite a decent Hotel Bretagne 5 minutes walk from the airport and another 15 minutes walk from the city centre.
Nice but expensive
The airport itself is very nice (I was told it was recently rebuilt by a German company and they hold a concession for twenty years to operate it).
All the staff was very friendly. It took the gasoline truck an hour to come to us (yes, they have AvGas 100LL), the ARO was friendly, but a bit clumsy. The main objection is the price: 95 EUR for 600kg MTOW, no PAX.
A prior landing permission is needed. In principle it takes 24h to get it (we got it overnight). Contact is Mr. Vrioni (mobile) +355 682 151 493, (fixed) +355 42 343 487.
re: Beja airport
If you want to go to the algarve then you would use the airport at Faro. If like me you have a caravan in Ferreira Do Alentejo Beja will be perfect. So i think it is in the right place, when it opens.
re: Beja airport
Reply to @david: I'm hoping to use this airport if it ever opens as I have relatives nearby and it will save me loads of hassle and expense of getting to Beja from Faro airport.
re: Beja airport
Does that mean that the airport is actually open to airline service now? The last news I saw (2 November) still mentioned the opening in the future, and the Portuguese-language website still says it's in the last phase of construction (at least, as far as my limited Portuguese skills go -- too lazy to use Google Translate for a language so similar to Spanish).
Beja airport
I went there on the 18 November 09, this airport will not work for holidaymakers that want to travel to the algarve, too far, 10 Euro toll, in the middle of nowhere, what person thought of this airport?
WRONG PLACE.....
Only Albanian airport with scheduled service (?)
It looks like TIA may still be the only airport in the whole country with scheduled airline service, though there have been efforts to upgrade Kukës (LAKU) and Gjirokastër to handle scheduled service as well. The Italian government was helping with Gjirokastër at one point.
Airport status?
This was intended to be Albania's second airport with scheduled civil airline service, but some of the comments suggest that things aren't quite working out. Here's Google Translate's (not so great) attempt at translating the Albanian-language comments below (oldest to newest):
"Kukes": do not understand why it is not a airoport such work but should be left at the mercy of fate is all north of Albania who can use ......
"uran uka" (uranium boom): The ndertojete airport in Kukes is a good thing ......................................... .............
"Mendimet e mija" (My thoughts): S SOPI GOSTIL
A Arirport so good and beautiful, especially at night by colored lights, and vihvet not at work, there is something good by the state, who have need for this aireport all Albanians of the north and Kosovo .... ...........
"eshte nje nevoj njerezore" (is a human need): would be better that these comments that we are giving, go to the right ear because this is a national loss but also the first time is a precise mosvleresim Albanian government in the management of this airporti. would be a great help for the area of the northern and south western Kosovo wide. and a fact that is very real in economine Albanian, would have enabled many families and help areas for about employing their relatives.
eshte nje nevoj njerezore
do te ishte me mire qe keto komente qe ne po japim, te shkojne ne veshin e duhur sepse kjo eshte nje humbje kombetare ne rradhe te pare por gjithashtu eshte nje mosvleresim i sakte i qeverise shqiptare ne manaxhimin e ketij airporti. do te ishte nje ndihme e madhe per te gjithe zonen e veriut dhe te gjithe kosoven jug perendimore. dhe nje fakt qe eshte shume real ne economine shqipetare, do te kishte mundesuar dhe ndihmuar shume familje te zonave per rreth duke punesuar te afermit e tyre.
Beja Airport
Took a drive by last week, not open yet. Does not look like it will be very soon either.

YouTube landing at Treb
First flight to Treb
Flew a 172 D-EVOC from the Fly-in-Spain crew to Trebujena Airfield on 28.10.09. It's the maintenance facility for Fly-in-Spain so lots of short hops from Jerez LEJR to Treb.
Gliders
I got my private pilot license with glider rating in 1974 at this airport in Austria after serving with the US Army in Berlin. Flew with a world champion named Haro Woedl. Great memories!

Florø airport is the westernmost airport in Norway, with the North Sea to the west, fjords and mountains to the east, and the beautiful North Sea coast to the north and south. It is a 20 minute walk to the city center, or five minutes by cab. Florø was founded in 1860 and will celebrate 150 years in 2010.
Beware of strong wind along the coast, including the airport. Remember to check METAR and TAF before departure. Also note that as since october 1. 2009 the airport do not have 100LL fuel. You may get 100LL from the local flying club at ENBL (Førde, Bringeland) 23nm to the ESE. The tower at ENBL will help you get in touch with the club.

NDB's OYE 349KHz and POY 430KHz are both discommissionned.
There are no longer NDB's on this airport.

I guess the US finally did something, where were they in June 1953 when we were totally cut off from West Berlin for about ten weeks when the Russians marched in during the East German uprising. It wasn't great to be treated as animals thereafter either nor hearing East Germans being shot by Russians soldiers either. May they rest in Peace.

re: Landed in Craiova
Reply to @robert: at EUR 130, that's actually more expensive than landing at Toronto's Pearson Airport (CYYZ)! When they set a landing fee that high, it's really a "keep out!" sign.
re: Closed
Reply to @robert: changed LZVB status to 'closed'. Thanks.
re: Closed
