About Kurgan Airport

Kurgan Airport serves the city of Kurgan in Russia, located in the southwestern region of Siberia. As a medium airport with an elevation of 240 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Kurgan region, supporting both commercial and potentially regional aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in southwestern Siberia suggests significant seasonal weather variations, with potentially challenging winter conditions typical of the region. Pilots should anticipate cold temperatures and potential snow/ice impacts, particularly during the extended winter months.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (02/20) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet constructed of concrete (CON). Its geographic coordinates at 55.475300, 65.415604 place it in a relatively flat terrain environment characteristic of the West Siberian Plain.
