Naryan Mar Airport — Naryan Mar, Russia

NNM identifies Naryan-Mar Airport, serving Naryan-Mar, the administrative center of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Russia's far north. Sitting above the Arctic Circle near the Pechora River delta, the airport is a critical transportation link for a region with minimal road connectivity to the rest of Russia, especially during harsh winters. NNM handles scheduled domestic flights connecting Naryan-Mar to larger cities such as Moscow and Arkhangelsk, and it supports the local economy heavily tied to oil and gas extraction in the surrounding tundra. For much of the year, air travel through NNM is one of the few reliable ways in or out of this remote administrative capital.
