Distance & flight time from AOC

Leipzig–Altenburg Airport

Leipzig–Altenburg Airport, coded AOC, actually sits in Nobitz, Thuringia, roughly 42 kilometers south of the city named in its title and closer to the smaller town of Altenburg. At 640 feet elevation, the field operates a single runway and carries passenger and cargo traffic under the older name Altenburg-Nobitz that many locals still use. As a medium airport, AOC handles far less volume than Leipzig/Halle Airport proper, functioning instead as a secondary, budget-oriented field for the region. The mismatch between the airport's branding and its actual location in a different German state from Leipzig's home state of Saxony is one of the more distinctive things about AOC.
