About Ukhta Airport

Overview

Ukhta Airport serves the urban area of Ukhta in the Komi Republic of Russia, positioned at 63.566898N, 53.804699E. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 482 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the regional transportation network in this northern Russian territory.

Flying Conditions

Located at a significant northern latitude, Ukhta Airport experiences pronounced seasonal variations typical of subarctic climates. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging meteorological conditions, with winter months likely presenting complex low-visibility and cold-temperature operational considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (18/36) with a substantial length of 8,691 feet constructed of concrete (CON) surface. Its elevated position at 482 feet MSL and northern geographic context suggest potential terrain interaction and wind dynamics that require careful navigation and approach planning.

Given the runway's orientation, pilots should be prepared to assess wind components and potential crosswind conditions, which can be particularly challenging in this region's variable atmospheric environment.
