Salekhard Airport

Salekhard Airport opened in the mid-20th century (around the 1960s) and operates as a compact regional airport with a single terminal that handles domestic flights and occasional charter services; it’s a key gateway for the Yamalo-Nenets Arctic region. Located a short drive from Salekhard town, the airport is reachable by road with local taxis and limited shuttle or bus connections, making onward travel to nearby settlements straightforward. Fares are generally affordable for regional travel though prices can rise on remote routes or in peak seasons. The airport functions as a base for regional carriers such as Yamal Airlines and supports cargo and vital passenger links across northern Russia.
