Regional airport Veliky Ustyug is located near the city of the same name in the Vologda region. Flights arrive here only twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays; all Yak-40 aircraft belong to the Russian airline Severstal. You can fly to the region from St. Petersburg and Moscow via Cherepovets.
The runway was reconstructed in 2011; now it can receive different aircraft. The reconstruction of the airport complex has also started, but for the time being it remains unmodernized. Since the residence of Father Frost (Ded Moroz) is located in Veliky Ustyug, the airport becomes especially popular during the New Year holidays.

Services
