Airport contact
Nalchik is Kabardino-Balkaria's sole scheduled-service airport, serving as the republic's principal air gateway in the North Caucasus. Full-year 2025 traffic was 185,000 passengers on about 1,200 movements, up 10% on 2024's 164,000/996 movements, per airport director Sergei Ainetdinov (TASS/RBC-Kavkaz, Jan 2026); an older 312,461 figure corresponds to full-year 2021 and should not be confused with the current 2025 total. Current routes are Moscow (Sheremetyevo/Vnukovo), Sochi and Kazan plus a Kuwait link opened late 2024 that is heavily used by Hajj/Umrah pilgrims, with Saint Petersburg, Sochi frequency, Istanbul and Antalya cited by the director as near-term restoration targets; the single 2,200m runway is shared with a Russian Aerospace Forces flight-test centre and is queued for federally funded reconstruction under Novaport over the next several years, so planners should watch for NOTAMs/works in coming seasons.

Aircraft cleaning
Unconfirmed
ООО «Аэрокомплекс» (Nalchik Airport Operator)
Cabin cleaning and lavatory/water servicing would ordinarily be bundled into the operator's turnaround handling package under its confirmed 'full range of airport services' claim for airlines; no independently named cabin-cleaning contractor was found, so this is unconfirmed as a discrete service line.

Ground support equipment
Unconfirmed
ООО «Аэрокомплекс» (Nalchik Airport Operator)
As the sole ground handler, the operator necessarily owns and maintains its own ramp equipment (stairs, tugs, buses, baggage/cargo loaders) to service the aircraft types the airport accepts (confirmed Boeing 737 family via the live Pobeda B-737 flight on the airport's own online board, plus other listed types). No itemised public GSE fleet list or third-party GSE lessor was found, so this is unconfirmed beyond the operator's general full-service claim.

Cargo handling
Available
ООО «Аэрокомплекс» (Nalchik Airport Operator)
Operates a cargo warehouse at the airport address (ul. Kabardinskaya 195, Nalchik — confirmed as the operator's own registered address); the AIP entry for URMN separately confirms the aerodrome holds 'modern facilities for handling of cargo up to 5 tons.' The specific 300 m²/150 m² floor-area and acceptance/release-hour figures could not be independently re-confirmed on the current official site (no dedicated cargo page found in its sitemap) and should be treated as sourced from a secondary directory rather than the airport's own site. · 08:00-23:00 (release); 08:00-19:00 (acceptance) — as reported, not independently re-confirmed
