Papa Air Base Auto Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport
Papa Air Base is a military air base in Papa, Hungary. Contrary to the name, it isn’t located within Papa, but rather near it. The airport for this base was built in 1936, and it is currently the only active air base in western Hungary.
For service members that received orders to transfer to this base, and want to ship their POV as well, they’ll have to make sure that they know how this process works. For that reason, we are here to help enlighten you about it.
Shipping to a Base in the OCONUS Area
Since the base is in Papa, Hungary, its considered to be outside of the continental United States (OCONUS). This means that if your PCS is to this base, you are eligible to ship one POV at no cost to the US government.
When you receive your PCS and have a POV, the first thing you should do is talk to your transportation officer about the move. The information has been relayed to the transportation officers.
Following that, you can contact a third-party military mover to transport your vehicle and other personal belongings to the base.
