However, there are no direct flights from the United Kingdom to this airport. It's mainly just short-haul flights from destinations such as Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich and even Vienna. There is a direct flight from Amsterdam, so this could be an option for the Orange Army if they don't want to drive.
