Country airport index
This page lists 14 retained airport records in our curated Russia airport catalog with IATA and ICAO codes, city names, and local timezone information. Airport records come from OurAirports and timezone rules come from the IANA database. Click any airport for coordinates, elevation, the current local time, and nearby airports.
Content reviewed Apr 30, 2026. This airport index is reviewed as a curated reference surface. It does not claim complete aviation coverage for Russia; it lists 14 retained airport records (14 large airports) across 5 IANA timezones (Europe/Moscow, Asia/Yekaterinburg, Asia/Novosibirsk plus 2 more).
Coverage note. This is an airport-reference index for timezone and travel planning. It focuses on retained large and medium airport records with usable codes and coordinates, not every runway, heliport, closed facility, or local landing strip. Airport service levels, terminal operations, route availability, and codes can change; verify with the airport, airline, NOTAM, or official aviation source before travel.
Country airport evidence
This page is classified as a multi-zone gateway network. The evidence score comes from static source coverage: codes, airport facts, official domains, city-clock handoffs, IANA zones, operational facts, and country dossiers where present.
Retained scope
multi-zone gateway network
Russia has 14 retained large/medium airport records (14 large, 0 medium) across 5 IANA zones.
Code and entity coverage
14 IATA, 14 ICAO
14 retained records have airport-facts rows; 14 cite official airport domains and 14 carry Wikidata entity links.
Traffic and operation facts
2 passenger rows
2 records quote passenger-volume facts; 28 runway counts are aggregated where quoted; 14 records carry scheduled-service flags.
Timezone pattern
5 airport zones
Airport clocks span UTC+03:00 to UTC+07:00, so this country page must keep airport-local time rather than assuming Europe/Kaliningrad.
Verification boundary
56 source URLs
Visible source hosts include cekport.ru, en.wikipedia.org, wikidata.org, ourairports.com, domodedovo.ru, airportnn.ru, kuf.aero, kazan.aero. These support identity and static facts, not live routes, terminal assignments, NOTAMs, or airline schedules.

Manual dossier sources are attached for country-level aviation context; point-in-time statements still defer to the linked authorities.

Traveler planning patterns
Kazan International Airport (KZN) is the first retained airport to check for Russia; then scan the 14 large and 0 medium records for regional alternates.
Do not assume one country clock: retained airport zones span UTC+03:00 to UTC+07:00. That matters for overnight arrivals, missed-connection buffers, and airport pickup times.
13 airport records link onward to vetted city-time pages, so a code lookup can become a local-clock, daylight, holiday, and meeting-time check.
14 retained records carry a scheduled-service flag, but route availability, airline service, terminals, and disruption notices are not live here.
Russia has a holiday country page on this site, so use it alongside airport time checks for closures, public-holiday pressure, and ground-service planning.
2 retained airports quote passenger-volume facts. Airports without a quoted figure are not ranked by traffic on this page.

These ranks reflect passenger volumes quoted in the curated airport-facts file; airports without a quoted figure are excluded from this card even if they may be locally busier.
Regional peer comparison
Peers are picked by geographic proximity (same continent) and similarity of retained-record counts. Comparison is structural — it does not audit fleet size, national aviation policy, or passenger traffic.

Country aviation dossier
Russian airlines collectively carried 111.1 million passengers in 2024, per Rosaviatsiya — 84.3 million domestic and 27 million international, exceeding the 2021 pre-sanctions level. Aeroflot Group (Aeroflot, Rossiya, Pobeda) grew 16.8% to 55.3 million passengers and now holds 49.5% market share. Moscow's Sheremetyevo (SVO), Domodedovo (DME), and Vnukovo (VKO) anchor the network. Sanctions-driven fleet maintenance, sourcing of substitute parts, and the gradual rollout of the SJ-100 and MC-21 domestic airframes are the dominant policy anchors.

Time-zone planning
For overnight flights, connections near daylight-saving transitions, and cross-border itineraries, use the airport’s IANA timezone instead of assuming every airport follows the country’s primary zone.
Codes, clocks, and city mapping
IATA coverage
14 codes
Useful for passenger-facing flight searches, tickets, airport boards, and quick route lookup.
ICAO coverage
14 codes
Useful for aviation references, flight tracking, weather briefings, and operational documents.
Airport mix
14 large / 0 medium
Gateway airports are prioritized first, but regional airports remain useful for local clock checks.
DST travel risk
Multi-zone
Recheck local airport time around overnight arrivals, daylight-saving weekends, and cross-border connections.
These rows connect retained airport records to city-time pages, so a reader can move from a flight code to the local clock, nearby planning context, and meeting-time checks.
