Location

Saskylakh, Russia

Saskylakh Airport (IATA: SYS, ICAO: UERS) is a regional airport located in Saskylakh, a remote settlement in the Anabar District of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. Situated well above the Arctic Circle, the airport serves as a vital lifeline for the isolated community, providing air access to a region with no road connections to the broader Russian road network. The airport handles light passenger and cargo traffic, predominantly operated by regional Russian carriers linking Saskylakh to Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Republic. Given the extreme subarctic and arctic conditions of the area, the airport plays a critical role in supplying the local population, particularly during the long winter months when river transport is unavailable.

Terminals

The airport has a single basic terminal building suited to low-volume regional passenger traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are extremely limited, with local vehicles providing the primary means of reaching the settlement from the airport.

Yakutia Airlines and affiliated regional carriers operate flights connecting Saskylakh to Yakutsk.
