Kurumoch International Airport is a low-elevation field at 477 ft (145 m), positioned at 53.5049° N, 50.1643° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 9,846 ft / 3,001 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Samara (SAMT, UTC+04:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Samara is the closest retained city-time anchor at 33 km. KZN Kazan is the closest retained airport alternative at 241 km.
KUF is compared with KZN Kazan at 241 km, UFA Ufa at 391 km, GOJ Nizhny Novgorod at 508 km, CEK Chelyabinsk at 760 km, SVX Yekaterinburg at 765 km inside the retained Russia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
KUF-KZN Kazan: 241 km, about 1h 8m, -1h. KUF-UFA Ufa: 391 km, about 1h 20m, +1h. KUF-GOJ Nizhny Novgorod: 508 km, about 1h 29m, -1h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies KUF as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Samara.
KUF (UWWW) is a low-elevation field at 477 ft (145 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
KUF sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
KUF's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 9,846 ft / 3,001 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt, concrete.
A specific operator or management record for KUF is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at kuf.aero, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
KUF uses Europe/Samara (SAMT, UTC+04:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Kurumoch International Airport is about 33 km from central Samara; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
KZN Kazan is the closest retained alternate at 241 km, time difference -1h.
kuf.aero is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place KUF inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
KUF ranks #4 in the curated Russia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 14 airports.
KUF has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Europe/Samara a more distinctive signal for this page.
KUF is 477 ft (145 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include PSP 477 ft (145 m) (0 ft delta) · YHZ 477 ft (145 m) (0 ft delta) · CRK 484 ft (148 m) (7 ft delta) · GRO 468 ft (143 m) (9 ft delta) · DAL 487 ft (148 m) (10 ft delta).
KUF's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are KZN 241 km -1h · UFA 391 km +1h · GOJ 508 km -1h.

Samara is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Kurumoch International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from KUF, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
