Equipment

The airport has a 1,199 meter long and 30 meter wide gravel or gravel airstrip. It has no de-icing systems, which often represents a very big problem in the winter, as the temperatures are often in this time of year in the minus range. In summer the airport, however, can not cope with the number of passengers often. The terminal also has a small coffee shop and a duty-free status in the countries of departure and at the arrival hall.
