Air terminal of the city of Khanty-Mansiysk

It tells the story of the formation in 1940 of the Samarovo Ob Airport of a separate detachment of the Civil Air Fleet. In 1956, Samarovo Airport was renamed the Khanty-Mansiysk Airport. The airport of those years was a prepared site in winter for takeoff and landing of aircraft on the left bank of the Irtysh, and in the summer, seaplanes made flights directly from the Irtysh River. In 1967, in connection with the development of open oil and gas fields in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, a decision was made to build a new airport in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk, in its northern part. In the early 1990s, the administration of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug decided to reconstruct the airport. The reconstruction project included the extension of the runway, the expansion of the apron, the repair of utilities, fuel and lubricants depot, and the construction of a new airport terminal. In 1997, a new artificial (asphalt-concrete) runway with a length of 2800 m and a width of 45 m, with a high bearing capacity suitable for receiving almost all types of aircraft, was put into operation. Since 2001, a new airport complex has been commissioned. In 2004, the Khanty-Mansiysk airport received international status.
