Flights to Ulan-Ude
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ulan-Ude is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Baikal International Airport (UUD), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 11,155-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baikal International Airport | UUD | 11 km (7 mi) | 11,155 ft | 1,690 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,155 ft, UUD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,690 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
