## Description

A dedicated freight terminal with temperature-controlled storage, customs clearance and forwarding services sets Cheboksary Airport (IATA: CSY, ICAO: UWKS) apart from a pure passenger field, even if its volumes stay modest. The main air gateway of the Russian republic of Chuvashia lies about 7 km south-east of the regional capital on the Volga, with annual capacity expanded to roughly 3,000 tonnes of cargo and up to 500,000 passengers; traffic peaked at nearly 394,600 travellers in 2019. Air freight here is largely belly cargo and regional in scope. For larger or intercontinental consignments, Kazan (KZN) some 140 km east and the Moscow cargo hubs are the practical alternatives. For forwarders, CSY is a genuine regional cargo point with limited handling capacity.
