Remote Siberian gateway serving the diamond-rich Lensk region.

Location
Lensk, Russia
Lensk Airport (IATA: ULK, ICAO: UERL) is a regional airport serving the town of Lensk in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. Located in a remote area of eastern Siberia, it plays a vital role in connecting this isolated community to larger Russian cities, as road infrastructure in the region is extremely limited. The airport primarily supports domestic routes, with connections to Yakutsk and other regional centers. It serves both commercial passengers and logistical operations related to the local diamond mining and oil industries, which are significant economic activities in the Lensk district. Given the harsh Siberian climate, the airport operates year-round but faces challenging weather conditions, including extreme cold temperatures in winter. It is a critical transportation node for residents and workers who would otherwise have very limited access to the broader transportation network.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal facility consistent with a regional Russian domestic airport of its size.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to Lensk town center is limited, with taxis being the primary means of transfer from the airport.
Airlines here
Yakutia Airlines and IrAero have historically operated services at Lensk, providing connections primarily to Yakutsk.
