Ust-Ilimsk Airport

Ust-Ilimsk Airport (IATA: UIK, ICAO: UIBS) is a large airport in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia located 17 km northwest of Ust-Ilimsk. It was a major regional facility capable of handling all sizes of airliners. The airport has a very large concrete apron with 500 x 200 M tarmac. The airport was closed in 2001 due to bankruptcy, but reopened in 2013 for flights to Irkutsk. Because of the smaller aircraft needed for the short length of flight to that destination, the operational runway area was reduced to 1000 metres. On the airport location a module passenger building with security block and flight control center have been installed to enable ground operations which were not possible in the earlier-destroyed buildings.
