Vladivostok International Airport guide

Vladivostok International Airport sits on the edge of Artyom in Primorsky Krai, about 44 km north of Vladivostok itself. It is the main air gateway to Russia's Pacific coast. The airfield dates to 1932, when the first commercial flights began, and the civil terminal opened in 1961.

The airport is named after the explorer Vladimir Arsenyev. Its two parallel concrete runways are each 3,500 metres long and handle wide-body aircraft. A new passenger terminal, built for the 2012 APEC summit at a cost of 7 billion roubles, handles international and domestic flights in one building and has a capacity of 3.5 million passengers a year. The older domestic terminal was converted to other uses.

Aurora and S7 Airlines use Vladivostok as a base. More than 20 Russian and foreign carriers have served the airport, with routes across Russia and to East and Southeast Asia, including charter flights to China. Passenger numbers rose 17 percent in 2024. A rail link runs between the terminal and Vladivostok station in about 54 minutes.
