Ust-Khayryuzovo

Ust-Khayryuzovo Airport, established during the Soviet era in the mid-20th century, is a small regional airfield serving the remote settlement on the western coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. With a single modest terminal and limited apron space, it handles a handful of scheduled and charter flights that link the area to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and nearby villages. Ground access is basic—local roads, private transfers or infrequent buses and taxis are the usual options—so travelers often pre-book transfers; boat or helicopter options are used seasonally. Not a hub for major carriers, it is served by regional and charter operators, and fares tend to be higher than at larger hubs due to sparse service and remote location.
