Wooden Airports in Russia's Territories

General information Modern airports constructed of glass and steel are often seen as symbols of prosperity in society. Yet these towering terminals may seem far away from Russia's vast territory where wooden airports serve to connect remote communities to larger urban centres.

Wooden airports dot Siberia from Igrim on Western Siberia's oil and gas basin to Khuzhir on Lake Baikal's Olkhon Island - from Igrim for oil & gas exploration, through Khuzhir for lake transport, reaching remote communities by air transport is often necessary.

Igrim isn't the only wooden airport in its region - Nel'kan and Mar-Kyuyel' are also used as gateways into remote mining areas, while one rare example can be found at Kondyor Massif in Khabarovsk Krai; here you will find mountains with perfectly circular mountainsides - something not found elsewhere on Earth!

Seymchan, located on the far eastern coast of Magadan Oblast, relies heavily on air transportation for people coming and going from its name-giving town. The airport that services it was constructed during World War II as part of the Alaska-Siberian air corridor; today, it provides direct links between Magadan and other larger Russian cities such as Moscow.
