## Description

Where the Lena River meets the air network, Lensk feeds supplies into Russia's diamond heartland. The town in the west of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is a staging post for the ALROSA mines around Mirny, and its airport (IATA: ULK, ICAO: UERL) sits about 4 km from the centre as a focus city for Alrosa's airline. Alrosa and IrAero link it to destinations such as Mirny, Yakutsk and Novosibirsk, with freight carried as belly cargo on passenger flights — rotational workers, essential supplies and mining equipment for remote sites like Udachny. Combined with the Lena river port, Lensk is a genuine transshipment point that pushes heavy goods onward into the mining district. The largest regional air cargo flows run through the ALROSA hub at Mirny (MJZ, ~220 km) and the republic capital Yakutsk (YKS).
