Pobedilovo Airport — Kirov, Russia

Pobedilovo Airport serves the city of Kirov in Kirov Oblast, in the northeast of European Russia along the Vyatka River. At an elevation of about 479 feet, it has two runways of asphalt and grass, the longer near 7,230 feet, connecting this regional capital to Moscow and other cities. Kirov is an old industrial and administrative center set in the forested country of the Russian northeast, well away from the major metropolitan areas. The airport complements the rail links that carry much of the region's traffic. The KVX code identifies this field, giving a provincial capital of the Russian interior an air connection to the wider country.
