Remote Siberian gateway serving the Tunguska region.

Location
Bor, Russia
Podkamennaya Tunguska Airport, designated with IATA code TGP and ICAO code UNIP, is a small regional airport serving the settlement of Bor in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It provides essential air connectivity to this remote area of central Siberia, where surface transport options are extremely limited. The airport serves the Podkamennaya Tunguska River basin, a region famous for the 1908 Tunguska event, one of the largest recorded meteorite impact or airburst events in history. Air travel is often the primary means of reaching this isolated part of Russia, making the airport a critical infrastructure asset for local residents and researchers. Operations at the airport are modest, handling small aircraft and limited scheduled regional services. The facility supports the sparse population of the surrounding taiga and serves as a logistical hub for expeditions and scientific research in the area.
