The airfield near Milovice has operated since 1925; until August 1968 it housed a training centre and units of Czechoslovak aviation. It was modernised for Soviet aviation: in the 1970s 44 reinforced-concrete aircraft shelters and an additional taxiway were built. After the Soviet Army left in 1991 the airfield was taken over by the Czechoslovak army, which did not resume flying, and it was later transferred to civil administration.
