Zhigansk Airport guide

Zhigansk Airport serves the town of Zhigansk in the Zhigansky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia. It carries the ICAO code UEVV and sits at an elevation of about 89 metres above sea level, roughly 5 km from the town centre.

The town lies on the left bank of the Lena River, about 600 km northwest of Yakutsk. No year-round road links Zhigansk to the rest of the republic. Boats run on the Lena in summer and a winter road crosses the frozen river, so the airport carries much of the town's year-round traffic.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 17/35, which is 1,100 metres long. Yakutia Airlines flies the scheduled route to Yakutsk, and travel listings show about one departure a day, so confirm the flight day with the airline before planning a trip. The airport is listed under IATA code ZIX and ICAO code UEVV. No passenger or aircraft movement statistics are published for the airport.
