Airport contact
Anapa has been shut to civilian flights since 24 Feb 2022 under Rosaviatsia's rolling southern-Russia security NOTAM. As of the sources checked (through late Aug 2026) it remains one of seven Russian airports on this closure list still shut (AAQ BZK EGO LPK ROV URS VOZ); three others on the original list already reopened — KRR (11 Sep 2025), GDZ (Jul 2025), ESL (May 2024). Operator Aerodinamika has said it is ready to resume flights but is awaiting security clearance from the Defense Ministry/special services; no official reopening order has been issued. Late-Aug 2026 reporting describes terminal construction work and staff recruitment under way at the airport, and a Feb 2026 industry forecast put 'high probability' on a summer-2026 reopening — but both are anticipatory, not a confirmed date. Anapa is the most-cited 'next' candidate in Russian press given Krasnodar's and Gelendzhik's 2025 reopenings. pax is null per policy for still-closed Russian airports; the last verified full-year figure was 2,932,148 passengers in 2021 (a then-record, +62% YoY over 2020), kept here only as historical context, not current capacity. Planners should assume no scheduled or charter service until an official reopening notice is published.

Ground handling
Available
PAO "Aeroport Anapa" (Международный аэропорт Анапа им. В.К. Коккинаки)
Airport operator is the sole ground handler for scheduled and charter flights at AAQ, self-provided; federal tariff orders (Russian Federal Tariff Service order 61-t/2, later re-set by FAS order 1032/17) explicitly regulate ground-handling charges levied by the airport company, confirming it as the service provider of record. Airport is part of the Aerodinamika holding (formerly Basel Aero), which also manages Sochi and Krasnodar airports; management-transfer date of April 2021 is reported but not. Note: AAQ has serviced no civil flights since 24 Feb 2022 (Rosaviatsia flight-ban on southern Russian airports); this entry reflects the operator's standing role, not live traffic.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
RN-Aero (РН-Аэро, Rosneft aviation-fuel subsidiary)
RN-Aero (Rosneft's dedicated aviation-refuelling operator) is reported as running operational control of fuel farms (ТЗК) and into-plane wing refuelling network-wide (44 airports including Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sochi, Krasnodar, Vladivostok), but Anapa-specific listing could not be (RN-Aero's own site was unreachable and search access was exhausted) — this is a group-level network claim, not a station-confirmed one. Downgraded from "available" pending direct AAQ-specific confirmation; also note AAQ has had no scheduled civil fuel demand since the Feb 2022 flight suspension.

De-icing

PAO "Aeroport Anapa" (Международный аэропорт Анапа им. В.К. Коккинаки)
Airport built a dedicated aircraft anti-icing treatment pad with an underground drainage/collection reservoir for spent de-icing fluid as part of its runway/apron reconstruction program; self-provided by the airport operator for winter operations. Krasnodar-region winters are mild but do produce occasional freezing precipitation, consistent with a purpose-built pad rather than year-round use.
