Location

Sabetta, Russia

Sabetta International Airport is a modern facility located on the Yamal Peninsula in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia, situated above the Arctic Circle. It was purpose-built to support the Yamal LNG liquefied natural gas project, one of the largest LNG developments in the world, operated primarily by NOVATEK. The airport handles a mix of cargo and passenger flights, predominantly serving workers and personnel associated with the industrial complex at Sabetta. Due to its remote Arctic location, it operates under challenging weather and permafrost conditions. It received international airport status, enabling direct charter and scheduled flights from multiple Russian cities.

Terminals

The airport has a single terminal designed to handle the high throughput of industrial workers traveling to and from the Yamal LNG site.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from the airport is limited to buses and dedicated shuttle services connecting to the Sabetta industrial settlement, as there is no road connection to the broader Russian road network.
