## Description

The 3,785 m² cargo complex at Kurumoch (IATA: KUF, ICAO: UWWW) is rated for up to 200 tonnes a day, though actual throughput runs well below that ceiling and mainly covers local demand in the industrial Volga region around Samara. 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, 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.
