## Description

The users of Chernigovka airfield in Russia's Primorsky Krai are exclusively military: the base hosts the 18th Guards Assault Aviation Regiment flying Sukhoi Su-25SM within the 303rd Composite Aviation Division, and the 319th Independent Helicopter Regiment with Kamov Ka-52 and Mil Mi-8AMTSh, all under the 11th Air and Air Defence Forces Army. Ownership rests with the Russian Ministry of Defence and the site is operated by the Russian Aerospace Forces, so it is not available for commercial cargo of any kind. There is no traffic code for scheduled operations, no cargo handling, no ground handling agent and no customs office for merchandise. Air freight for Primorsky Krai and the Russian Far East is handled at Vladivostok Knevichi (VVO), roughly 150 road kilometres to the south, with Khabarovsk Novy (KHV) as the second option. Heavy or bulky consignments normally travel by sea through the ports of Vladivostok, Vostochny and Nakhodka, connected inland by the A370 highway and the Trans-Siberian Railway. One legal point outweighs the logistics: any supply linked to Russian military sites falls under EU, Swiss and US export controls and sanctions regimes and must be assessed before anything is booked.
