## Description

For a settlement with no year-round road, the aircraft is the supply line: Chokurdakh Airport (IATA CKH, ICAO UESO) sits north of the Arctic Circle on the Indigirka River in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Yakutia and Polar Airlines link it to the regional capital Yakutsk (YKS), about 1,230 km and just over three hours away, partly on a seasonal basis. Freight is limited to belly loads and essential supplies, mail and spare parts for the far north; there is no commercial freight terminal, no freighter handling and no customs. Most goods in fact arrive not by air but through the annual northern delivery programme — river barges up the Indigirka during the short summer navigation window, ice roads in winter — and missing that window means either a year's wait or paying air-freight rates. Forwarders therefore consolidate any plannable Yakutian airfreight through Yakutsk. For shippers, CKH is a remote delivery endpoint, not a cargo gateway.
