## Description

No forwarder will route commercial cargo through Chkalovsky (IATA: CKL, ICAO: UUMU): this is a Russian Air Force base about 31 km northeast of Moscow near Shchyolkovo, not a civil airport. It supports the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center at Star City and the space agency Roscosmos, and serves as a military transport hub flying types such as the Il-76, An-12 and An-72. There is no commercial freight handling or customs service here. Air cargo for the Moscow region moves through Sheremetyevo (SVO), Domodedovo (DME) or Vnukovo (VKO) instead.
