Komsomolsk-on-Amur is a city in the Far East. This is an economically significant settlement for the country, where military aircraft, submarines, ships, and oil products are produced. The distance from Khurba-Komsomolsk-on-Amur Airport is small, only 17 kilometers, but it is not so easy to overcome it departing.
Khurba Airport
It was created during the war for take-off / landing of military aircraft. The first lane was only 810 m - this was enough for small military aircraft. Despite this purpose, a platform was built for passengers and the premises of the terminal itself.
In Soviet times, many planes flew from here, mainly heading to the cities of the Far East. From the moment of the collapse of the Union until the end of the 20th century, passenger planes practically did not fly to the city of Youth. Very rarely did only transport go to the capital.
Passenger transportation was resumed only in 2009. Almost all flights were made by Vladivostok Air, transporting travelers on Tu-204 aircraft.
In 2012, an agreement was concluded with the Yakutia company, which began to deliver Komsomol members and city guests to the country's capital on a Boeing.
Until 2015, the Komsomolsk-on-Amur airport transported passengers to Moscow through the Wim Avia company. However, at the end of the year she refused orders due to the unprofitability of the flight.
Currently, a company from St. Petersburg bought the airport. Komsomolsk-on-Amur hopes that now this air hub will be brought into proper shape, and the planes will make regular flights and generate revenue. In addition, the townspeople believe that the delivery of passengers departing and arriving in the city by public transport will be arranged.
The airport is not popular with carriers, so there are practically no infrastructure facilities on its territory. Nevertheless, the terminal can offer passengers:
- hall of improved comfort;
- shop;
- Cafe.
The nearest hotels are located 15 km from the airport. The closest hotels are:
- "Space";
- "Sunrise";
- "City";
- "Trucker".
There are three ways to get from the city to the airport, which will be discussed now.
Bus
Today, residents of the city of Youth are not so easy to get to the airport. Komsomolsk-on-Amur has only one bus route that goes in this direction - No. 102. Cars of this route of outdated models, shaking and uncomfortable - they transport numerous summer residents to horticultural societies. The airport is the end point of the route.
To get out of Khurba, you can wait for the city bus or try to stop bus number 220 on the highway, coming from Amursk.
Car
You can quickly and comfortably get to the airport by car. Komsomolsk-on-Amur is located very close to Khurba - this distance can be covered in good weather in 15-20 minutes. In winter, after heavy snowfalls, the road will take longer, but still this value will be less than what you have to spend on the bus.
However, this method is not suitable for those who have no one to carry out and who are driving their own car. The fact is that there is no secure parking near the airport. The car will have to be left right at the terminal, and there is no guarantee that it will wait for your return.
Taxi
Taxis to the airport will arrive without any problems. Numerous Komsomol taxi companies will be happy to take passengers to the airport terminal at any time and with any amount of baggage. However, the cost of such a trip, especially in winter, will be quite high.
If you need to get to Komsomolsk-on-Amur airport, getting there is not such a big problem. Anyway, there are many options.
Komsomolsk is always happy to welcome guests!
