Deputatsky

Deputatsky Airport, opened in the Soviet era (1960s–1970s), is a small regional airfield in the Sakha Republic that operates from a single modest terminal and serves as a vital air link for the mining settlement and nearby Arctic communities. Though compact, it plays an outsized role in connecting Deputatsky to Yakutsk and other regional centers with scheduled and charter flights; access is a short drive from town with limited bus or taxi services and occasional seasonal road options. Not a major hub, it is typically served by regional carriers such as Polar Airlines and local air-taxi operators, and fares tend to be higher than average due to the remote location and limited competition.
