Distance & flight time from VVO
Vladivostok International Airport
Vladivostok International Airport, coded VVO, lies in the town of Artyom roughly 44 kilometers north of Vladivostok, the largest city on Russia's Pacific coast. A striking terminal with an undulating wave-shaped roof opened in 2012 ahead of the APEC summit hosted by the city, replacing the older Soviet-era facility. VVO functions as the principal aviation gateway to Primorsky Krai and the wider Russian Far East, linking the region to Moscow and other domestic cities across eleven time zones as well as to nearby destinations in Japan, South Korea, and China. Aurora Airlines, formed from a merger of regional Far Eastern carriers, bases significant operations there. Because Vladivostok sits closer to Tokyo and Seoul than to Moscow, the airport has long bridged Russia's domestic network with cross-border regional travel.
