Hran X Airport (Ardalian: Zracna Luka X Hran) or Hran Airport (Zracna Luka Hran) (IATA: HRN, ICAO: LCHN) is an international airport serving Hran, Ardalia. It is the largest airport in Ardalia. In 2022, it handled 4.92 million passengers and nearly 18,000 tons of cargo.
Named after X, the airport is located 10 km (6.2 mi) southeast of Hran in Kulica. It is the hub of the national flag carrier Ardalia Airlines. The main base for the Ardalian Air Force is also located on the airport's premises. Air traffic control for the entire country is situated on the grounds of the airport.
The airport is owned by the HAIC Consortium (Hran Airport International Company) under a 30-year concession with the Government of Ardalia. The contract included the financing, designing, and construction of a new passenger terminal which opened in 2017. For the purpose of managing the airport, the consortium established a operating company called MZLH.
Terminal
The airport recently opened a completely new terminal building stretching over 65,800 m2 (708,000 sq ft) on three floors featuring three baggage carousels, 8 air bridges, 9 security checkpoints, 30 check-in desks, 23 passport control booths (manned by the National Police) and a car park with the capacity of 3,100 vehicles. There are three remote stands beside the terminal and another 23 available for use at the old terminal during the peak season. Departing passengers can eat and shop at over 19 locations and purchase duty-free goods as they enter the departure area. Plans are currently underway to replace the original terminal building with an extension of the 2018 building which will double the passenger capacity and introduce another 6 air bridges, reducing the need for remote stands.

Ground transportation
The airport can be reached from central Hran by scheduled local bus service (#210) operated by JPZH or scheduled coach services run by Ardalia Airlines' subsidiary Pleso Prijevoz; both run every half hour. There have been ongoing discussions between the City of Hran, the airport operator, Ardalian Railways, and the national Government about constructing an electrified rail line to the terminal but no decision has yet been reached.
Individuals can get a taxi or a rideshare to the airport. The taxi rank can be found directly outside the arrivals curb while those seeking to use a rideshare must pick it up at a designated location in Parking Lot 2. In addition to the final taxi meter rate or established rideshare cost, a 10 Znak airport surcharge is applied.
Those wishing to drive their personal vehicle to the airport may park in one of the 900 available spaces split between two open-air lots.
There are eleven rental car companies that have a presence at the airport. It is strongly advised for those coming to Ardalia in the peak season to reserve a car as soon as possible.
