Remote Arctic gateway serving the Kolyma River delta region.

Location
Cherskiy, Russia
Cherskiy Airport (IATA: CYX, ICAO: UESS) is a regional airport serving the settlement of Cherskiy in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), in the far northeast of Russia. Located near the mouth of the Kolyma River, it provides a critical air link for this extremely remote Arctic community, where air transport is often the only practical means of travel. The airport operates scheduled regional flights connecting Cherskiy to Yakutsk and other settlements in the Sakha Republic. Given the harsh subarctic and Arctic climate of the region, the airport plays an essential role in year-round supply and passenger transport for the local population. Facilities are modest, reflecting the small population it serves. Operations can be challenging due to extreme cold, permafrost ground conditions, and limited infrastructure typical of remote Siberian airports.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of this remote Arctic settlement.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and the settlement of Cherskiy is limited to road vehicles, with the small size of the community making access straightforward.
Airlines here
Polar Airlines, a subsidiary of Yakutia Airlines operating regional routes within the Sakha Republic, serves Cherskiy Airport.
