## Description

Few airports sit better placed to bridge European Russia and Asia than Novosibirsk Tolmachevo (IATA: OVB, ICAO: UNNT), the largest airport in Siberia, about 16 km west of Novosibirsk in the town of Ob. It handles more than 6.5 million passengers and over 30,000 tonnes of freight a year, working as a transfer point between western Russia, Central Asia and East Asia. The hub carrier is S7 Airlines, which concentrates maintenance and ground logistics here. The cargo terminal is fitted with roller decks, Hi-Scan screening for consignments up to roughly 120 × 170 cm and refrigerated chambers for perishables; traffic is dominated by domestic flows plus links to China and the CIS, while Western carriers have been absent since the 2022 sanctions. On the landside the Trans-Siberian Railway and the R254 highway connect the airport to Siberia's industrial regions. An ongoing terminal expansion aims to lift capacity beyond 10 million passengers, and the airport is run by the Novaport group. For forwarders, OVB is the principal air-freight gateway to western Siberia.
