## Description

Belgorod International Airport (EGO/UUOB) is a Russian regional airport that has handled no civil traffic since 24 February 2022, which makes it unusable in current air freight planning. Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia closed it alongside other airports near the Ukrainian border; in November 2025 its head Dmitry Yadrov stated the sites were ready to resume operations but still awaited clearance from the Defence Ministry. No dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter operation is documented for EGO even before the closure — what air cargo existed moved as belly capacity on passenger flights. Shippers serving Belgorod Oblast today route through the Moscow airports Sheremetyevo (SVO) and Vnukovo (VKO), followed by roughly 650 to 700 kilometres of road haulage along the M2 corridor. For consignments from the EU, the UK or Switzerland, reciprocal airspace bans and sanctions have severely restricted direct air freight to Russia since 2022, so export-control screening belongs before any booking. Rail and road corridors via Moscow, and transshipment points in third countries for permissible goods, are the practical alternatives. With no active flight operations, Belgorod is not a customs clearance point for air cargo.
