## Description

A 3,001-metre runway and stands for aircraft up to a Boeing 747-400 make Orsha-Balbasovo Airport (IATA: TXC, ICAO: UMIO) capable of handling heavy freighters. The former Soviet military airfield, 11 km southwest of Orsha in northeastern Belarus, is home to the Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant and is marketed as a cargo site with a dedicated logistics centre. In practice, scheduled passenger and regular cargo traffic is minimal. For reliable air freight, Minsk (MSQ), around 170 km away, remains the national hub.
