Nizhnevartovsk Airport is one of the most important West Siberian transport hubs. It is located not far north-west from the city of the same name in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
General information
The development of air transport in the region is an urgent task, since this type of movement is the most affordable in price and quality. This explains the growing popularity of air travel.
The West Siberian city of Nizhnevartovsk is a relatively young Russian settlement. Its construction is due to the development of the oil industry in the region.
In the Soviet era, Stella was installed on the road leading to the airport from the city, “Avenue of Honor for Aircraft”, which to this day remains an important city attraction.
Nizhnevartovsk Airport was created back in 1965 on the basis of several aircraft of the AN-2 type and Mi-4 helicopters. After 4 years, by order of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, a specialized enterprise was created - a squadron. In 1971 he was moved to another place where he is to this day.

By 1981, work on the first reconstruction was completed.
From 1989 to 1990, the second large-scale reconstruction of the airport complex was carried out, after which the Nizhnevartovsk airport became able to receive IL-86 wide-body aircraft and modern air buses. Since 1992, the enterprise has the status of federal significance.
Since 1998, the FAS has assigned ICAO category No. 1 to the aerodrome complex. After that, the airport began servicing international flights. Now he is able to accept almost any type of aircraft of domestic and foreign production.
