Nogliki Airport

Nogliki Airport opened in the Soviet era, roughly in the 1960s, and today operates as a small regional airfield with a single modest terminal serving northeastern Sakhalin Island. It’s an essential gateway for local residents and the oil-and-gas industry, offering scheduled flights and charter connections—most commonly to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk—rather than long-haul services. Ground access is straightforward via regional roads with taxis and limited bus service linking the airport to Nogliki town; public transport is basic. Fares can be higher than city routes due to remoteness, though advance booking often yields better deals. Regional carrier Aurora and smaller local operators provide the main services rather than the airport acting as a hub.
