At a small distance from Arkhangelsk (about 6 kilometers) is located Talagi Airport, from which the Russian company Nordavia-RA, engaged in air transportation, carries out local and international flights. Tickets can be purchased directly at the box office, or booked by phone or online service. Passengers flying in the morning are advised to consider that bridges are being built in the city at night. This may complicate the movement along the streets of a city such as Arkhangelsk.
The airport, in addition to the base airline Nordavia-RA, receives and sends charter flights to countries that are of great interest to Russian tourists.
A bit of history
The airport got its name from the two settlements of Talagi located in the immediate vicinity. Initially, it was created as a military airfield. Construction was started during the years of World War II. It is currently used by civil aviation. In 1963, the main passenger flights were from northern cities located in close proximity, as well as the rather popular route Moscow-Arkhangelsk.
Airport after reconstruction
Thanks to the reconstruction of the terminal complex, it has acquired a modern and comfortable look. Passengers arriving and awaiting flight can be accommodated in comfortable hotel rooms. It is located directly in the office building. This solution allows visitors not to feel discomfort while visiting Arkhangelsk.
Talagi Airport is currently converted to European standards. For the convenience of boarding passengers, two modern telescopic ladders were mounted here. In addition, in 2015, the construction of an additional terminal began. Thanks to this, it became possible to further accelerate the service of passengers departing and arriving at the airport.
