Remote Arctic gateway serving the Sakha Republic in Siberia.

Location
Zhigansk, Russia
Zhigansk Airport (IATA: ZIX, ICAO: UEVV) is a small regional airport serving the settlement of Zhigansk in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in northeastern Russia. Located in one of the most sparsely populated and climatically extreme regions on Earth, the airport provides a vital air link for a community otherwise largely inaccessible by road. The airport handles limited scheduled regional traffic, primarily connecting Zhigansk to Yakutsk and other settlements across Yakutia. Given the harsh subarctic climate and absence of road connections to the broader Russian road network, air transport is essentially the primary means of reliable year-round passenger access to the town.
Terminals
The airport features a small, basic terminal facility befitting its limited passenger volumes and remote regional status.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with local vehicles providing the primary connection between the airport and the small settlement of Zhigansk.
Airlines here
Yakutia Airlines (and its successors or affiliated regional carriers) has historically operated scheduled services connecting Zhigansk to Yakutsk.
