Ust-Maya Airport guide

Ust-Maya Airport is a small regional airfield in the Sakha Republic of Russia, serving the Ust-Maysky District. It carries the ICAO code UEMU and sits at an elevation of about 171 metres above sea level. The airfield lies in the selo of Petropavlovsk, roughly 8 km southeast of the settlement of Ust-Maya.

No year-round road links Ust-Maya with the rest of the country. Winter roads reach Eldikan and Amga only while the rivers are frozen, so the airport carries most scheduled passenger travel. Polar Airlines flies the route to Yakutsk.

Russian sources describe one unpaved runway, 06/24, measuring 1,900 by 60 metres. English-language sources list a different runway, 04/22, at 1,400 metres with an asphalt surface, so the runway details are not settled. The passenger terminal handles about 50 passengers per hour. Traffic is light: the airport handled about 10,700 passengers in 2017, up from 9,200 in 2014.
