## Description

Severstal is effectively the only airline serving Petrozavodsk Airport (IATA: PES, ICAO: ULPB), running about 48 departures a month, mostly to Moscow (Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo) and Kaliningrad. The field, 12 km northwest of the city in Besovets, is a joint civil-military airport in Russia's Republic of Karelia. No dedicated cargo terminal or scheduled freighter operations are documented, so air freight moves only as belly cargo on passenger flights. Regional goods traffic instead rides the rail corridor: Petrozavodsk sits on the St. Petersburg–Murmansk main line, paralleled by the M18/R21 "Kola" highway. Forwarders route customs-cleared or time-critical air shipments through St. Petersburg Pulkovo (LED), about 430 km to the south.
