Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kostroma is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Golden Ring Yaroslavl International Airport (IAR), 51 km (32 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,870 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Kostroma Sokerkino Airport (KMW, 6 km), Ivanovo South Airport (IWA, 92 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Ring Yaroslavl International Airport | IAR | 51 km (32 mi) | 9,870 ft | 287 ft |
| Kostroma Sokerkino Airport (regional) | KMW | 6 km (4 mi) | 5,577 ft | 446 ft |
| Ivanovo South Airport (regional) | IWA | 92 km (57 mi) | 8,202 ft | 410 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,870 ft, IAR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 287 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
