## Description

Around 1.04 million passengers passed through Orenburg Airport (IATA: REN, ICAO: UWOO) in 2023, making it the main air gateway to Russia's Orenburg region near the Kazakh border. The airport is named after Yuri Gagarin, who trained at the city's Chkalov military flying school before becoming the first human in space. Aeroflot, S7 Airlines, Nordwind, Red Wings, Azimuth, IrAero and UVT Aero operate mostly domestic services. Cargo is modest and largely domestic — parcel and courier consignments handled through basic freight facilities — while international air freight is consolidated via the Moscow airports (Sheremetyevo/SVO). Forwarders should treat REN as a feeder point and route wider air cargo through Moscow, roughly 1,200 km to the northwest.
