## Description

Serving the industrial Volga region around Samara, Kurumoch (IATA: KUF, ICAO: UWWW) is a modest freight field that mainly covers local demand. The airport sits about 35 km north of Samara on the Volga and was Russia's 14th-busiest by passengers in 2024, with around 3 million travellers. Cargo moves chiefly as belly freight on passenger flights and through the on-site cargo terminal, handling only a few thousand tonnes a year — typically spare parts and equipment for the machinery, aerospace and automotive industries around Samara and Tolyatti. Intercontinental shipments are concentrated at the Moscow airports, with Kurumoch acting as a regional feeder. The region is also served by federal highways and Volga river shipping, offering alternatives to air freight for non-urgent volumes. For forwarders, KUF is the fast channel into the middle Volga area rather than a transfer hub.
