Remote Siberian gateway serving the Lena River region.

Location
Ust-Kut, Russia
Ust-Kut Airport (IATA: UKX, ICAO: UITT) is a regional airport serving the town of Ust-Kut in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia. Located in a remote area of eastern Siberia, the airport provides an essential air link for a region where ground transportation is limited and river travel is seasonal. The airport handles modest passenger volumes, primarily serving domestic routes connecting Ust-Kut to larger Russian cities such as Irkutsk. It plays a critical logistical role for the local oil and gas industry, as Ust-Kut is a significant hub for hydrocarbon extraction in the region. Ground infrastructure in the area is challenging due to the harsh Siberian climate and permafrost conditions, making air transport one of the most reliable year-round connections to and from the town.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building typical of regional Russian airports, with basic passenger facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and the town of Ust-Kut is primarily by road, with taxi services available.
