Kotlas Airport guide

Kotlas Airport (ICAO ULKK) serves the river-port and rail town of Kotlas in the south of Arkhangelsk Oblast. It sits on the left bank of the Northern Dvina, close to where the Vychegda joins it, and lies about 56 km from Veliky Ustyug in neighbouring Vologda Oblast. Syktyvkar, the capital of the Komi Republic, is roughly 225 km to the northeast.

The field has a single asphalt-concrete runway, 13/31, rated PCN 20/F/D/X/T. It handles regional turboprops and small jets rather than large airliners. Its elevation is 56 m.

Ownership passed to Aeroservis in July 2004. In August 2014 the airport's property became part of the assets of Arkhangelsk Airport, which now operates it. Traffic is thin and seasonal. Passenger numbers were 891 in 2014, then rose to around 10,000 a year from 2015 once regular services were restored.

In 2022 Severstal Air Company flew Kotlas to St. Petersburg three times a week with a Bombardier CRJ200. The 2nd Arkhangelsk United Aviation Squadron linked Kotlas with Arkhangelsk three times a week using an L-410. RusLine and the Vologda Aviation Enterprise have also appeared on the route table, to Pulkovo and Vaskovo respectively.
