Saskylakh Airport

Saskylakh Airport (IATA: SYS) is a small regional airport serving the Arctic settlement of Saskylakh in Russia’s Sakha Republic, established in the Soviet era (around the 1960s). The facility operates from a single modest terminal and handles light jet and turboprop traffic, functioning as an important lifeline rather than a major hub. Connections are limited: most flights link to Yakutsk and other regional centers via Polar Airlines and Yakutia’s regional services, while ground access is minimal and often seasonal, so travelers rely on air links or river transport in summer. Owing to its remote location, fares tend to be relatively expensive compared with larger cities.
