## Description

A single 2,500-metre instrument runway sets the limits at Cherepovets Airport (CEE/ULWC): aircraft up to roughly 80 tonnes, Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 among them, serving the steel city of Cherepovets in Russia's Vologda region. The airport is run by the aviation arm of the steelmaker Severstal, and Severstal Air Company is headquartered on site, which shapes the traffic mix toward domestic scheduled and charter services to Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Murmansk and Mineralnye Vody. No dedicated cargo terminal or regular freighter operation is confirmed here, so air freight moves as belly cargo on passenger and corporate flights or on one-off charters. Shippers targeting the Vologda region normally route via Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) or the freighter airport at Yaroslavl Tunoshna (IAR) and add roughly 250 to 500 kilometres of road feeder service. The legal setting matters more than the infrastructure: Russian airspace has been closed to EU, Swiss and US carriers since 2022, Western freight airlines no longer serve Russia, and every consignment must be screened against EU, Swiss and US sanctions lists before booking. For heavy or time-tolerant goods the waterway is worth a look, since Cherepovets sits on the Volga-Baltic canal with its own river port and rail links toward Vologda and St Petersburg.
