## Description

Aeroflot, S7 and Hainan Airlines link Vladivostok to China's main cities — Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, Sanya, Guangzhou and Dalian — making Vladivostok International Airport (IATA: VVO, ICAO: UHWW) the leading international gateway of the Russian Far East. The Knevichi field near Artyom, about 44 kilometres north of the port city, ranked among Russia's fifteen busiest airports in 2024 and posted double-digit growth (passengers up 17% in 2024). A dedicated cargo terminal handles both domestic and international freight, predominantly on the China lanes; Seoul service is currently suspended, while Air Koryo flies seasonally to Pyongyang. The airport's strength is its links to Russia's largest Pacific seaport and to the Trans-Siberian Railway, which terminates in Vladivostok — enabling sea-air and rail-air combinations with nearby Chinese ports such as Qingdao. The Free Port of Vladivostok regime adds customs and tax facilitation on site. For Far East shippers, VVO is the practical node for China traffic and belly cargo, while Western carriers no longer operate to Russia under sanctions.
