Comments for Russia

Does not exist any more. Was used mostly for agricultural purposes and in summer time for local passenger service (to the Black Sea shore usually) with small airplanes (12 or 5 seaters). That was good for people but untenable financially. Now most of the land is being rented out or sold to private enterprises to build private residences or for workshops etc.

This airport have index URRQ (in russian УРРЯ) - only AFTN index, not ICAO.

According to Wikipedia this strip is served by Yakutia- and Polar Airlines

Reply to @Jan: Thanks for the help. I've changed the status to closed.

Several signs...Look close and you'll see markings on the asphalt on the west side near the yellow boxes. There is a fence/wall covering most of the old runway. And it appears they have made a go cart track on the old apron.

Yes, Logovushka Airfield, used by Kurgan Aviation club. Updated.

Seems its used for GA. Maybe for parachuting?

No longer an air base though so maybe change name?

Thanks -- I've updated the status.

Thanks -- I've changed the status.

According to Wikipedia it is abandoned

According to Wikipedia article linked this AB has been closed for many years.

Thanks. I'll mark it as closed unless we find more information:

English Wikipedia. Search for Chaykovsky and pick the one in Perm Krai

I couldn't find the article in the English Wikipedia -- is it in the Russian one?

Thanks for the info. If anyone finds out the status, please let us know.

Reply to @david: Was supposed to be a question mark after Closed in title. Don't know if it is completely closed, but it is no longer used for any mil- or private regular flights.

Is the runway ever used (say, to fly in new aircraft for display), or is it completely shut down?

According to Wikipedia article about Chaykovsky there is no longer an airport there.

This is now used for the Central Air Force Museum

Yes, it was mistake, this airport has no English ICAO.

The pavement looks rough but intact, and although the markings have worn off, nothing's been built on or close to the runway. Is there any way to confirm the airport's status?

Unless this code exist in official ICAO database I think it should be changed to URRA. The Russian code is УРРЯ, which would translate to URRYA.

Reason for this is that Zavetnoe about 100 miles SE has УРРЫ which translates directly to URRY.

This airfield appears to have been abandoned

I don't know enough about drag racing to know what to look for in the satellite pic. Certainly, I don't see proper runway markings.

Based on Google Earth image this airport appear to be used for drag racing now.

Probably closed.

Now civil airport for small planes and helicopters.

spasibo!!!

Done -- there's just one Kasimovo Air Base now.

Sorry, I have duplicate mark for this airfield. Remove it please, when possible.

Reopened is Grozny North (see photo in "New York Times"). This mark is Khankala military base.

Thanks -- I've corrected the name, and updated the Wikipedia link.

Correct name of this airbase is Kilpyavr (or Kilp-Yavr).

This is the home airport of the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association, one of the largest aircraft manufacturing complexes in Russia. It is closed to the public.

This airport is operated by the Russians as part of their claim on the disputed Kuril Islands, near Japan.

This was a busy regional passenger airport during the Soviet era, but fell on hard times afterwards, and stopped operations about 10 years ago.

There are calls for the airport to add customs services and accept international flights, so that passengers can fly directly to Chechnya, without having to pass through Moscow:

This airport was in ruins after the Chechan war, but it was repaired after the fighting died down, and was reopened for scheduled service in spring 2007. There's still occasional violence in Chechnya, but airplanes no longer have to spiral down from directly above the airport to avoid rocket fire. Here's a story from fall 2007:

There is a lot of construction underway at Sheremetyevo, including a new terminal and a new runway:
