Tambov Donskoye Airport

Tambov Donskoye Airport (TBW) is the small regional gateway to Tambov Oblast, originally established in the mid-20th century and operating from a single compact terminal that handles mainly domestic services. As the primary airport for the city of Tambov, it’s modest in size but important for fast connections to Moscow and other Russian destinations, plus occasional seasonal charters. Located roughly 10–15 km from Tambov’s center, Donskoye is easily reached by regional bus routes, shared minibuses, taxis and car, with straightforward road links to nearby towns. Not a major airline hub, it is served by Aeroflot and several Russian regional carriers and is generally seen as an affordable option for travelers seeking low-cost connections to central Russia.
