Due to its distance from the city centre, there are no noise restrictions enforced on the airport. It is acting as a point of entry to northern Moravia and the Czech part of Silesia. The city of Ostrava is a major economic and industrial centre for the area.
The airport is open 24 hour daily. As well as being able to serve aircraft as large as an Antonov An-124 (the largest aeroplane ever mass produced), Ostrava-Mošnov's heliport allows it to serve helicopters, alongside fixed wing aircraft.
In 2005, 265,882 passengers went through Ostrava-Mošnov passenger terminal, 2,228 tonnes of cargo were handled and there were 16,136 aircraft movements. In 2008 a new maintenance hangar CEAM was opened. Plans have been announced to construct a new cargo terminal. Since 2003 NATO Day, a military show,[2] takes place in the area of Mošnov airport.
