Field and clock profile
Zhukovsky International Airport is a low-elevation field at 377 ft (115 m), positioned at 55.5533° N, 38.1500° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 15,092 ft / 4,600 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.
City and airport alternatives
Zhukovsky is the closest retained city-time anchor at 5.0 km. DME Moscow is the closest retained airport alternative at 22 km.
Country airport peers
ZIA is compared with DME Moscow at 22 km, VKO Moscow at 56 km, SVO Moscow at 66 km, GOJ Nizhny Novgorod at 359 km, LED St. Petersburg at 665 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.
Route geometry
ZIA-VKO Moscow: 56 km, about 54m, +0h. ZIA-SVO Moscow: 66 km, about 55m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies ZIA as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Moscow.
ZIA (UUBW) is a low-elevation field at 377 ft (115 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
ZIA sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
ZIA's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 15,092 ft / 4,600 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete.
A specific operator or management record for ZIA 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 zia.aero, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for ZIA
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
ZIA uses Europe/Moscow (MSK, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Zhukovsky International Airport is about 40 km from central Moscow; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
DME Moscow is the closest retained alternate at 22 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
zia.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.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place ZIA inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
ZIA ranks #14 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.
Same-zone airport cohort
ZIA shares Europe/Moscow with DME Moscow RU · GOJ Nizhny Novgorod RU · KZN Kazan RU · LED St. Petersburg RU · ROV Rostov-on-Don RU · SVO Moscow RU. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
ZIA is 377 ft (115 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include MST 375 ft (114 m) (2 ft delta) · LIS 374 ft (114 m) (3 ft delta) · YOW 374 ft (114 m) (3 ft delta) · OZH 373 ft (114 m) (4 ft delta) · MCZ 387 ft (118 m) (10 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
ZIA's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are DME 22 km +0h · VKO 56 km +0h · SVO 66 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Moscow, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Moscow 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.
Zhukovsky 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.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from ZIA, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
