Transport from Košice Airport: My Tips
The airport is situated 11 km from the centre of Košice and is connected to the public transport network.
Bus route 32
A direct bus service, number 23 , runs to the city centre and the main railway and coach stations, with departures on average 1–2 times per hour.
You can find detailed timetables on the transport company’s website:
- Directions to the airport: dpmk.sk/linka32-airport (services marked with the letters ‘Fa’ do not go to the airport)
- From the airport: dpmk.sk/linka32-city
When travelling from the city centre, some services only go as far as the Faurecia industrial estate, so please pay close attention to the destination of the service you are taking.
You can buy a ticket from the ticket machine at the bus stop (cash or card accepted) or on board the bus (card only).
Alternatively, you can buy tickets more cheaply via the HOPIN mobile app, although you’ll need to top up your account with a minimum balance of 5 eur.

The 60-minute weekend group ticket for 1.5 EUR is also not mentioned.
The HOPIN app has a significant drawback – the minimum top-up amount is 5 EUR.
Furthermore, it is not true that the bus only runs once every two hours at the weekend. It usually runs twice an hour.
Tickets can be bought either from a ticket machine using a card or on the bus, where there is a terminal.
Thanks for the update.
