Platov International Airport is a near sea-level field at 213 ft (65 m), positioned at 47.4939° N, 39.9247° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 11,811 ft / 3,600 m.

ROV is compared with DME Moscow at 891 km, ZIA Moscow at 904 km, VKO Moscow at 919 km, SVO Moscow at 959 km, KUF Samara at 984 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.

OurAirports classifies ROV as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Rostov-on-Don.
ROV (URRP) is a near sea-level field at 213 ft (65 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.

ROV's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 11,811 ft / 3,600 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete.
Airports of Regions is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for ROV.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at rov.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.
ROV uses Europe/Moscow (MSK, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Platov International Airport is about 35 km from central Rostov-on-Don; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
OZH Zaporizhia is the closest retained alternate at 348 km, time difference +0h.
rov.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 ROV inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
ROV ranks #9 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.
ROV shares Europe/Moscow with DME Moscow RU · GOJ Nizhny Novgorod RU · KZN Kazan RU · LED St. Petersburg RU · SVO Moscow RU · VKO Moscow RU. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
ROV is 213 ft (65 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include LRM 213 ft (65 m) (0 ft delta) · HAV 210 ft (64 m) (3 ft delta) · VRA 210 ft (64 m) (3 ft delta) · LBG 218 ft (66 m) (5 ft delta) · HFE 207 ft (63 m) (6 ft delta).
