Chulman Airport — Neryungri, Russia

Chulman Airport, coded NER, serves Neryungri, a mining city in the Sakha Republic of far eastern Russia known for coal extraction in a harsh subarctic climate. The airport provides a critical air link for this remote region, where road and rail access is limited and winters are severe. NER handles domestic Russian flights connecting Neryungri to Yakutsk and other regional centers, supporting both the mining workforce and local residents. Given the isolation of Sakha's southern industrial towns, air transport through airports like Chulman remains one of the few reliable year-round means of travel, and the field is equipped to handle operations under extreme cold-weather conditions typical of the area.
