Čáslav Airport (Czech: Letiště Čáslav) is a military airport operated by Czech Armed Forces. The airport complex is located near the village of Chotusice in the Kutná Hora district. The airport was built between 1952 and 1958. Since December 1, 2003, it has been the headquarters of the 21st Tactical Air Force Base, honorably named "Zvolenská", within the Czech Air Force.[1][2]

The Čáslav Airport is home to the 211th Tactical Squadron with JAS-39 Gripen fighter jets, the 212th Tactical Squadron with L-159A ALCA fighter jets, and the 213th Training Squadron with two-seater "Alkas" (L-159T1) and Albatrosses (L-39ZA).[1] The 21st Tactical Air Force Base holds open days for the public every two years.[3][4]

The 2025 Burglary

At the beginning of 2025, an unknown perpetrator broke into the airport. The person in question entered the airport through a hole in the fence. The intruder noticed a car with the keys in the ignition. He stole the car, which had been driven to work by one of the airport employees. The man drifted across the airport grounds in the stolen car. He then crashed the vehicle and broke through the fence. After leaving the airport, the intruder met with residents of Čáslav in a restaurant.[5] Members of the military police were unable to determine the man's identity and closed the case in August 2025.[6] General Jiří Šedivý described the January incident and the army's communication after it as a huge failure.[7] The postponement of the investigation into the incident gave rise to a number of internet memes, including an e-shop that commented on the situation with the words: "It's lucky that it was just a car with keys and not, say, a fighter jet; the Americans wouldn't have shown us the F-35s anymore..."[8]
