## Description

In winter the Yenisei freezes and the barges stop, so everything urgent for Igarka arrives by air: the airport (IATA: IAA, ICAO: UOII) moves on the order of 1,500 tonnes of freight and mail a year for a Siberian town with no permanent road link. It sits on an island in the river about 3 km south of town, in northern Krasnoyarsk Krai beyond the Arctic Circle and built on permafrost. KrasAvia operates the core route to Krasnoyarsk (KJA), just under 800 km in roughly 2h45, alongside scheduled and charter links to Surgut, Noyabrsk, Ufa and Beloyarsky and helicopter services to Svetlogorsk and Turukhansk. Following runway reconstruction the field handles modern aircraft up to around 190 tonnes maximum take-off weight; a dedicated cargo terminal or international customs post is not confirmed. Perishables, medicines and time-critical spares fly, while bulk cargo and building materials travel on the Yenisei during the short ice-free window of the northern supply run. Forwarders consolidate through Krasnoyarsk (KJA), with Norilsk Alykel (NSK) as the other far-northern connecting point.
