Lipetsk Airport — Lipetsk, Russia

Lipetsk Airport, code LPK, serves Lipetsk, an industrial city in western Russia known as home to one of the country's largest steel plants, Novolipetsk Steel (NLMK). LPK has historically handled domestic passenger flights connecting Lipetsk to Moscow and other Russian cities, alongside cargo and business travel tied to the metallurgical industry that dominates the local economy. The airport's traffic has fluctuated over the decades along with Russia's broader shifts in regional aviation demand and airline route networks. Lipetsk also has a notable military aviation training center nearby, reflecting a longer regional history of Soviet and Russian air force activity in the area beyond LPK's civilian operations.
