Gateway to Russia's vast natural gas heartland.

Location
Novy Urengoy, Russia
Novy Urengoy Airport (IATA: NUX, ICAO: USMU) serves Novy Urengoy, a major natural gas production city in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of northwestern Siberia, Russia. The airport plays a critical role in connecting this remote industrial hub to larger Russian cities, particularly given the limited road infrastructure in the region. The airport primarily handles domestic flights, serving the substantial workforce employed in the oil and gas sector, as well as residents of the city. Given the harsh subarctic climate of the region, the facility is designed and operated to function reliably in extreme winter conditions with very low temperatures.
