Remote Arctic airfield serving the Moma district of Yakutia.

Location
Khonuu, Russia
Moma Airport (IATA: MQJ, ICAO: UEMA) is a small regional airport located near Khonuu, the administrative center of the Moma District in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. Situated in one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions of northeastern Siberia, the airport serves as a vital lifeline for local communities that have no road connections to the outside world. The airport handles light regional air traffic, primarily supporting residents, government operations, and supply flights. Given the extreme subarctic climate of the area, operations can be challenging, particularly during the harsh winter months when temperatures can drop to extremely low levels.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Khonuu is limited to local road or off-road vehicles, as no formal public transit infrastructure exists.
