🏢 Terminal Information
Leipzig–Altenburg Airport (AOC) is a regional airfield located in Nobitz, primarily serving general and corporate aviation. Since the cessation of scheduled commercial flights (historically by Ryanair), the terminal facilities are quiet but functional for private pilots. A key attraction on the airport grounds is the 'Flugwelt Altenburg Nobitz' aviation museum, which displays a collection of historic aircraft including a MiG-21 and a Transall C-160. The museum also features a small café, making it a worthwhile stop for aviation enthusiasts.
