Yelizovo International Airport named after Vitus Bering PKC / UHPP

ru). Coordinates: OurAirports gives 53.168716N/158.1667N/158.4536E (53d10mN 158d27mE) — a roughly 300m difference typical of rounding variance between sources. Runway: single active runway 16R/34L, 3400m x 60m, concrete, ICAO CAT II-certified ILS, per OurAirports, English Wikipedia and Russian Wikipedia alike; OurAirports also lists a runway-coded strip of about 224m (12/30, asphalt), too short for fixed-wing traffic and not corroborated as active by the other sources, so it is excluded here; Yelizovo is otherwise described as single-runway. Terminal: the 31 March 2025 opening under an Airports of Regions PPP is confirmed by multiple sources, but floor area is reported inconsistently (about 33,000 sqm per Russian Wikipedia vs.terminals; Operator confirmed as JSC MAPK(E) (АО «МАПК (Е)»), part of the Airports of Regions holding since 2018 (agreement signed 3 November 2017), per Russian Wikipedia and ar-pkc.ru; the field is additionally a joint civil/military aerodrome, co-based with a Russian Air Force unit, per Russian Wikipedia — typical of Russian Far East airports and not previously noted. The airport carries federal international-airport status with on-site customs and border control, but scheduled international service remains thin: the only announced international route at the time of writing is IrAero's new Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky-Harbin service, per English Wikipedia set to begin 24 October 2026 — treat current international capability as customs-ready rather than actively multi-destination. This Far East airport is not among the Rosaviatsia-closed southern Russian fields and carries no conflict-zone closure status; standard post-2022 sanctions context still applies — Western fuel majors, ground handlers, caterers and MRO providers have exited the Russian market generally, and EU/UK/US airspace and airport bans constrain onward routing for Western-flagged or Western-leased aircraft regardless of this airport's own operating status. Russia's official eAIP remains distributed only through a paid/registered CAI (ГЦ АИ) subscription rather than a public web chart, so the CAT II ILS rating and other AD-2 particulars above rest on the secondary sources cited rather than a directly-viewed AD 2 chart — verify against current NOTAM/AIP before instrument approach planning.
