## Description

Barge, ice road and a single regional airline keep Chersky connected — scheduled air freight is not part of the picture. Cherskiy Airport (IATA: CYX, ICAO: UESS) sits on the south bank of the Kolyma River in the far north of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, reached from the settlement by ferry or winter ice crossing. Polar Airlines and Yakutia Airlines operate lifeline flights, chiefly to Yakutsk; there is no cargo terminal and no scheduled freighter service. Heavy goods arrive during the short summer navigation by river barge, with urgent items carried as belly freight on passenger flights. For forwarders, CYX is a community lifeline rather than a shipping point; air cargo routes through Yakutsk (YKS), some 2,000 kilometres to the southwest.
