Small regional airfield serving the Irkutsk metropolitan area.

Location

Irkutsk, Russia

Irkutsk Northwest Airport (ICAO: UIIR) is a secondary airfield located in the northwestern part of Irkutsk, a major city in eastern Siberia, Russia. It is distinct from the main Irkutsk International Airport (IATA: IKT, ICAO: UIII), which handles the bulk of commercial passenger traffic in the region. UIIR is understood to be a smaller, general aviation or military-affiliated airfield rather than a full commercial hub. Detailed public operational data for this facility is limited, reflecting its non-primary status within the regional aviation network. Irkutsk itself sits near Lake Baikal and serves as an important transit and logistics center for eastern Siberia, with aviation infrastructure split between multiple facilities serving different operational purposes.
