NordOst International Airport

NordOst International Airport (IATA: NORDT, ICAO: NORS, FAA LID: NSO) (Ostlandic: NordOst Internacjonalsk Lufthdrom), formerly know as Nordostat International Airport, is an airport in Ostland that serves the capital and most populous city in the country, Nordostat, and its metropolitan area. With a yearly average of 48 million passengers, is the busiest airport in Ostland.

The airport is located 15.6 nautical miles (29 km; 18 mi) south of the city, in Ulgesthalle commune. The airport is connected to the city center by the Lufthwaggen Station from Line 3 of the Nordostat Metro, and to the rest of Nordostat county by the high-speed railway Norstog Express, since 2021.

The airport was opened in 1934, in replacement of the Ossenberg Airport, which was located 108 kilometers (67 miles) southwest the city, to reduce transport times.

History
Before 1830, the current settlement of the airport housed the old lumberers belonging to Ackerman & Lynd Inc. In May 1833, the Royar Armed Forces expropriated the ground and the lumberers moved to, then called, Iskandryklleborg grafskav, Province of East Ostland (now Iskanderberg district, West Styroe)

After King Hans I introduced counties on March 1908, and with the creation of the Nordostat county, the airport was designed as the Nordostat-Lynd Base, but was restricted to military affairs.

On 1910, the Royal Comitee of Transport and Infrastructure approbed the construction of a new airport to receive non-military flights, resulting on the building of the Ossenberg Airport. However, on 1921, plans were revisited and Comitee stated that Ossenberg Airport had a most-strategical location since its farther from city's urban area. Since then, Nordostat Airport is the main domestic airport, and the Ossenberg Airport is secondary, and more focused on military.

The only occasion where Nordostat Airport had active military operations was during World War II, especially between 1938 and 1944; Anyway, since then the country did not had many military interventions.
