Airport contact
Capital-city airport of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and the main base for Yakutia Airlines and Polar Airlines, serving as the principal year-round air link to a region where most settlements have no permanent road access; also used as a certified cold-weather test site for new aircraft types, exploiting Yakutsk's routine sub-minus-40C winters. The runway was resurfaced in phases between 2018 and October 2023, with the retired parallel runway kept only as a parking apron. Post-2022, Western fuel majors, ground handlers, caterers and MRO providers have exited the Russian market; fueling and handling at Yakutsk is now provided by domestic Russian companies. S7 Airlines has announced a new Beijing-Daxing route from Yakutsk starting 27 October 2026, not yet operating as of this record; other reported route plans (Khabarovsk, Nalchik) could not be independently confirmed in available sources. Pax figure is the confirmed 2024 full-year total (1,084,522); no newer full-year 2025 total was found published in available sources.
