Diamonds and the heavy equipment that extracts them define the freight at Mirny (IATA: MJZ, ICAO: UERR), the air-cargo base of Alrosa, the world's largest producer of rough diamonds by volume. The airport sits 4 km east of the mining town of Mirny in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in Russia's Far East, beside the vast "Mir" kimberlite open pit visible from space. Inbound flights carry mining machinery, spare parts and supplies; outbound freighters of Alrosa's own airline move rough diamonds and precious metals. During the 2017 summer navigation season (April–August) alone, Mirny handled over 4,600 tonnes of cargo and about 150 tonnes of mail. A 2,800-metre concrete runway and 24-hour operations accommodate aircraft up to the Boeing 737. With road links limited and much bulk supply arriving only during the short summer river-shipping season, air transport is essential for urgent and high-value goods, while intercontinental freight routes via Moscow.
