Small regional airport serving the Kerch Peninsula.

Location

Kerch, Ukraine

Kerch Airport (IATA: KHC, ICAO: UKFK) is a small civil airport located near Kerch, a city on the eastern tip of the Crimean Peninsula. The airport has historically served limited regional routes connecting the area to other parts of Ukraine and the wider region. Following Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, the airport's operational status and international recognition became politically complicated. Most international aviation bodies and airlines suspended or redirected services, and the airport operates under disputed jurisdictional circumstances that have significantly curtailed regular commercial activity. The airport has a single runway and limited infrastructure, reflecting its status as a secondary regional facility. Its proximity to the Kerch Strait gives it some strategic geographic significance, but commercial traffic has remained minimal in recent years.

Terminals

The airport features a small, single terminal building with basic passenger handling facilities suited to low-volume regional traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport between the airport and central Kerch is primarily by road, with taxi services being the main option available.
