Igarka Airport guide

Igarka Airport serves the town of Igarka in the Turukhansky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, north of the Arctic Circle on the Yenisei River. It stands on Igarsky Island, about 2 km southeast of the town, at an elevation of 23 m. Its codes are IAA (IATA) and UOII (ICAO). The ground is permafrost, and the town sits on the river channel, so the airfield is the main year-round link to the rest of Siberia.

The single runway, 12/30, is 2,513 m long and 46 m wide with a concrete surface. It takes medium-sized airliners such as the Tu-154 and Boeing 737, along with turboprops like the An-24 and An-26, and helicopters of all types. Seaplanes used the site from 1929, and a hydroport followed in 1936.

Scheduled flights run mainly to Krasnoyarsk. KrasAvia also connects Igarka with Norilsk, and UTair has flown to Ufa and Surgut. Helicopter services reach Svetlogorsk and Turukhansk.
