The 395th Independent Test Aviation Squadron of the 929th State Flight Test Centre (Chkalov) operates from Bagay-Baranovka, a Russian military airfield near Sennoy in the Saratov region on the Volga. Laid out as a Soviet wartime field in the early 1940s and named after the Bagay river and the village of Baranovka, it previously hosted fighter regiments flying Su-17, MiG-23 and MiG-29 aircraft. There is no civilian scheduled or cargo traffic and no commercial airport code. Regional air freight moves through Saratov Gagarin Airport (IATA: GSV), about 80 km southwest, where customs clearance also takes place. Sennoy sits on the rail and road corridor between Syzran and Saratov, which carries surface freight in this part of the Volga region. Samara Kurumoch (KUF), roughly 270 km east, is the alternative air cargo gateway.
