Voronezh International Airport guide

Voronezh Peter the Great International Airport sits at Chertovitskoye, on the northern edge of Voronezh. Its ICAO code is UUOO and its elevation is 157 metres above sea level. The airport works around the clock and is built to handle Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft, a capability it has had since about 2010.

Regular air service from Voronezh began in July 1933. In the late Soviet period the airport handled about 1.1 million passengers a year, and a new terminal building was delivered in 1971. A renovation that began in 2008 upgraded the airfield and the passenger building.

The single runway, designated 12/30, is 2,300 metres of asphalt concrete. The airport draws passengers from the wider Central Black Earth region, including Lipetsk, Kursk, Tambov, Oryol and Belgorod oblasts. Passenger traffic reached about 770,000 in 2018 and about 809,000 in 2021. Airlines that have served Voronezh include Aeroflot, Rossiya, S7 Airlines, Ural Airlines, Red Wings, Nordwind and Pobeda. Since February 2022, Russian airspace restrictions have affected civil flights at airports in southern Russia, so check current flight availability with your airline before travelling.
