Poprad–Tatry Airport (TAT)

Poprad–Tatry Airport (IATA TAT, ICAO LZTT) is the High Tatras’ own airport: about 5 km west of Poprad’s centre and 15 km south of the mountains, at 718 m — one of the highest-lying airports in Central Europe. Poprad sits on the D1/E50 corridor, roughly 110 km from Košice and 330 km from Bratislava by road.

It is small by design: one terminal with an arrivals hall and a Schengen-compliant departures hall opened in 2014, one 2,600 m runway, and about 112,000 passengers in 2025 (120,000 in 2024). It handles scheduled and charter flights and general aviation; there are no domestic flights.

The scheduled network is short: Wizz Air flies London–Luton year-round (since 2014), Gdańsk in season and Prague from late October 2026; Arkia serves Tel Aviv in season. The rest is holiday charters — winter sun to Egypt, summer to Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Tunisia and Albania. The London route runs all year, with its biggest peaks in winter.

What operators get is reliability rather than reach: very few fog days, and the diversion airport for Košice, Sliač, Žilina and Bratislava.

Poprad–Tatry is a compact, single-terminal airport, with arrivals and departures in the same building and the car park directly outside. Our name-board meet & greet takes place at the arrivals exit, allowing groups to move from baggage claim to their coach within minutes — with no shuttle or second terminal.

For international departures, we normally plan the group’s arrival at the airport around two hours before the scheduled flight, with the coach transfer timed accordingly.

This makes TAT particularly convenient for programmes combining the High Tatras with the UNESCO-listed Spiš region.

Choose Poprad when a suitable direct flight or charter is available — there is no border crossing and the main mountain resorts are just 15–30 minutes from the terminal.

When Poprad is not served from the group’s origin, Kraków (KRK) is a strong alternative, around 165 km and approximately 2.5 hours from the Tatras. Vienna, Budapest and Košice can also work well depending on the wider itinerary.

We can arrange the ground services from any of these gateways, including open-jaw programmes arriving through Poprad and departing from Kraków, Vienna or Budapest, with coaches and private transfers coordinated throughout the programme.
