Gomel Airport

GME is the code for Gomel Airport, serving Gomel, the second-largest city in Belarus, located in the country's southeast near the Ukrainian and Russian borders. Gomel is an industrial and cultural center with a notable historical palace and park complex, and the airport provides domestic and limited international connections for business travelers, residents, and visitors to the region.

Historically the airport also handled Soviet-era regional routes. Today GME functions mainly within Belarus's constrained domestic and CIS-oriented flight network rather than as a broad international gateway.
