Dikson Airport

Dikson Airport (IATA: DKS, ICAO: UODD) serves the small Arctic settlement of Dikson, located on the Kara Sea coast in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It is one of the northernmost airports in the world, positioned above the Arctic Circle in an extremely remote and harsh environment. The airport primarily supports the small population of Dikson, which has dwindled significantly since the Soviet era, as well as scientific, meteorological, and logistical operations in the region. Air transport is essentially the only practical means of reaching Dikson, as road connections are absent and sea access is seasonal. Scheduled passenger services are limited, historically operated by regional Russian carriers connecting Dikson to Norilsk and other nearby Arctic settlements. The airport infrastructure is modest, reflecting the very low passenger volumes it handles.
