## Description

River barges run only at high water and winter roads only when the ground is frozen, which leaves Baykit Airport (ICAO UNIB) as the sole year-round link for Baykit and much of the Evenkia region — making air cargo a basic supply function rather than an express product. The airport handles Antonov An-24 and An-74 and Yakovlev Yak-42 class aircraft plus all helicopter types. KrasAvia is the scheduled operator, averaging roughly one flight a week to Krasnoyarsk, with freight and passengers sharing the same aircraft. Heavy goods and fuel are consolidated into the seasonal northern delivery programme, moving by river on the Podkamennaya Tunguska and over ice roads, because airlift capacity is limited and costly. International consignments clear customs at Krasnoyarsk Yemelyanovo (KJA), about 650 km to the south-west, and are then flown on in regional aircraft. No dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter service is documented at Baykit.
