Rough estimate for Czech Republic is as follows

where are these estimates from? it is missing LKBE which is definitely in front of LKLT if not first

I think you should look at how likely your parcel is going to end up directly in the trash. Highly likely for large organizations like EDLW, less likely for smaller airfields that are not organized like a business.

I know that the pamphlets were put on display and posted on the notice board of my clubhouse (because I did it). From time to time, I send information e-mails to our members. Next time I’ll mention EuroGA.

Here is the Top 20 for the UK in 2016:

I have added up total annual GA movements for aerodromes that have chosen to publish their movements to the CAA.
Aerodromes that have not published their data (e.g. Stapleford – not sure why) are not here.

BIGGIN HILL 44877
COVENTRY 40111

Unfortunately we have no official numbers for GA here in SLOVAKIA and definitely we can’t distinguish UL, LSA, VLA operations among other GA.
But expected busiest GA airfields could be here as follows (except LZZI all are without landing and handling fees):
LZLU Lucenec (paved runway only)
LZZI Zilina (commercial, FTO University of Zilina, paved RWY)
LZNI Nitra
LZPE Prievidza (cca 20 000 estimated)
LZDB Slavnica
LZOC Ocova
LZPT Partizanske
LZMT Martin
LZTN Trencin

Definitely order is not correct due to lack of information only estimated.
International airports like LZIB (Stefanik Airport) are open for GA but rather expensive (around 55 Euro for MTOW up to 1 ton) and therefore GA traffic is not so strong there.
