Hévíz–Balaton Airport

Hévíz–Balaton Airport (LHSM) is a medium airport in Sármellék, Hungary. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code LHSM or IATA code SOB. It sits in Europe.

Hévíz–Balaton Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Hévíz–Balaton Airport sits near sea level at 408 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Budapest. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for LHSM updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

It gains importance due to the proximity of Lake Balaton, Hungary's most important holiday resort and the thermal spas of Hévíz and Zalakaros.
