## Description

S7 Airlines, Ural Airlines, Red Wings, Nordwind and UTair anchor the schedule at Barnaul Airport (IATA: BAX, ICAO: UNBB), the main gateway of Russia's Altai Krai, 17 km west of the city and one of Siberia's busier fields. Named after Altai-born cosmonaut Gherman Titov, it handles cargo as belly freight on passenger services plus charter loads, and its runway can take wide-bodies up to the Boeing 747 and Ilyushin Il-96 (cargo cut-off 90 minutes domestic, 45 minutes international). The bulk of western Siberia's air freight, however, is consolidated at Novosibirsk Tolmachevo (OVB), about 190 km away — the macro-region's principal cargo hub with links to China and Southeast Asia. Barnaul therefore works as a regional feeder for Altai's farm and industrial output, while transcontinental freight generally moves via OVB.
