Kotlas Airport — Kotlas, Russia

Kotlas Airport serves the town of Kotlas in Arkhangelsk Oblast, in the north of European Russia where the Vychegda meets the Northern Dvina River. At an elevation of about 184 feet, it has a single asphalt runway near 4,757 feet, linking this northern rail-junction town to Moscow and other cities. Kotlas grew as a transport hub on the river and rail routes of the Russian north, and its airport adds an air connection for a region of forests and waterways far from the major centers. The KSZ code identifies this field, serving the modest but real travel needs of a town set in the taiga belt of northern European Russia.
