Decision matrix for OZH
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.
When the clock matters
OZH uses Europe/Kyiv (EEST, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.

When alternates matter
ROV Rostov-on-Don is the closest retained alternate at 348 km, time difference +1h.
When source checks matter
ozh.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.
