Penza Airport — Penza, Russia

Penza Airport (PEZ) serves Penza, a city in central-western Russia known for its role in industry, machine building, and as a regional administrative center along the Sura River. The airport handles domestic flights primarily to Moscow, supporting business and government travel for this mid-sized provincial capital. Penza has a notable history dating back to the 17th century as a fortress city, and today balances its industrial base with cultural institutions including museums and theaters. PEZ has undergone periodic modernization to improve its terminal facilities, though it remains a moderate-traffic regional airport typical of Russia's non-capital administrative centers, primarily serving local residents rather than international visitors.
