|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platon Oyunsky Yakutsk International Airport | YKS | 7 km (4 mi) | 11,155 ft | 325 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,155 ft, YKS can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 325 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
