<p class="blog-para"><strong>Early years:</strong> The airport was built during the 1950s as a replacement for the old Brno airport located in Slatina (northeast of Tu┼&Ouml;any airport). The construction of a new departure hall began in 1967. During the 1980s, the airport was handed over for use by the Czechoslovak air force, and civil operations were reduced to a minimum. Civil flights were operated during exhibitions and fairs taking place at the Brno Exhibition Center. In 1986, the new departure hall and related facilities were completed. After the fall of communism in 1989, the airport returned to civil use and was operated by the state-owned Czech Airport Authority.</p>
<p class="blog-para">strong&gt;Latest developments: At present, the South Moravian local government owns the airport, which is operated by a private company, Brno Airport Ltd. In November 2017, Brno Airport Ltd. was bought by the investment group Accolade. The regional government of South Moravia Region entered negotiations on new routes, namely to Rome, Barcelona, Milan, and Lviv, in late 2017. As a result, a new airline company, Blue Air Moravia, was established, owned jointly by the city of Brno and the regional authority (35% each) and the parent company Blue Air (65%), headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. However, this was cancelled and the airport was bought by Accolade Holding. In 2022, 471,811 passengers passed through the Brno&ndash;Tu┼&Ouml;any passenger terminal, making it the second busiest airport in the Czech Republic.</p>

<p class="blog-para">The airport is located within city limits, next to the D1 highway, which runs from Prague to Bohumn through Brno. It is connected to the public transport network by daytime bus route E76 and night route N89, which both run to Brno hlavn n&aacute;dra (the main railway station). The journey takes 16 minutes.</p>
<p class="blog-para"><strong>Public Transport:</strong> As it is very close to the city, passengers using their private cars can use the Brno Airport parking lots before their flights. There are DPMB bus services to the city center from Brno Airport, Czech Republic. The E76 bus from Brno city departs in front of the airport departure terminal. However, transportation from Brno main train station to Brno Airport is provided by the night bus service N89 between 23.00 and 05.00. From this station, transfers from Brno to Vienna Airport train hours and lines can be learned. Brno Airport bus tickets are sold in CZK or EUR at bus stops, at the vending machine in the arrival&rsquo;s terminal, and from the newsagents in the departure terminal. Brno Airport taxi and car rental companies like Rentplus Brno Airport can be alternatives to Brno public transport. Passengers are highly recommended to think about Brno Airport-to-Center taxi costs before taking one.</p>
