## Description

The 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment and its Su-30SM jets, not freight airlines, define Kursk Vostochny Airport (IATA: URS, ICAO: UUOK) today. Civilian flights — passenger and cargo alike — have been banned since 24 February 2022, and the field now serves as a military air base. It lies in Kursk Oblast, a front-line region since Ukraine's August 2024 incursion, and has been hit repeatedly by drone and missile strikes. There is no commercial cargo handling and no scheduled date for resuming civilian operations. Air freight for the area is routed through Moscow's airports, roughly 530 km to the north. For forwarders, Kursk is currently not a usable air-cargo point.
