Airport contact
Sole scheduled-service air gateway of Magadan Oblast in Russia's Far East, granted international-airport status in 1991 though current scheduled service is domestic (IrAero and SiLA base aircraft here); the single 10/28 runway carries runway lighting (ОВИ Д-4 for RWY10, ОМИ for RWY28) but no confirmed ILS, so approaches rely on non-precision aids in a region with frequent poor-weather diversions. 2025 traffic of 626,300 passengers (+11 percent year-on-year vs. 564,400 in 2024, per Interfax-Russia) reflects the new terminal's Dec-2024 opening. As with other post-2022 Russian airports, Western fuel majors, handlers and MRO providers have exited and route options are shaped by ongoing sanctions and airspace restrictions.
