Kazan International Airport is a low-elevation field at 411 ft (125 m), positioned at 55.6062° N, 49.2787° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 12,303 ft / 3,750 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Moscow (MSK, UTC+03:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Kazan is the closest retained city-time anchor at 23 km. KUF Samara is the closest retained airport alternative at 241 km.
KZN is compared with KUF Samara at 241 km, GOJ Nizhny Novgorod at 349 km, UFA Ufa at 436 km, ZIA Moscow at 699 km, DME Moscow at 716 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.
KZN-KUF Samara: 241 km, about 1h 8m, +1h. KZN-GOJ Nizhny Novgorod: 349 km, about 1h 17m, +0h. KZN-UFA Ufa: 436 km, about 1h 23m, +2h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies KZN as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Kazan.
KZN (UWKD) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 5.4 million passengers (2025), operating from a low-elevation field at 411 ft (125 m).
KZN sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
KZN's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 12,303 ft / 3,750 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete.
A specific operator or management record for KZN 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 kazan.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.
KZN uses Europe/Moscow (MSK, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Kazan International Airport is about 23 km from central Kazan; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
KUF Samara is the closest retained alternate at 241 km, time difference +1h.
kazan.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 KZN inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
KZN ranks #5 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.
KZN shares Europe/Moscow with DME Moscow RU · GOJ Nizhny Novgorod RU · LED St. Petersburg RU · ROV Rostov-on-Don RU · SVO Moscow RU · VKO Moscow RU. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
KZN is 411 ft (125 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include ADB 412 ft (126 m) (1 ft delta) · FKB 408 ft (124 m) (3 ft delta) · WRO 404 ft (123 m) (7 ft delta) · MUX 403 ft (123 m) (8 ft delta) · SOC 421 ft (128 m) (10 ft delta).
KZN's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are KUF 241 km +1h · GOJ 349 km +0h · UFA 436 km +2h.

The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Kazan 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.
Kazan 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 KZN, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
