Distance & flight time from GME
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. Air traffic through GME has been shaped significantly by broader geopolitical developments affecting Belarusian aviation, including sanctions and airspace restrictions imposed on the country in recent years, which have reduced the range of destinations reachable from here. 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.
