Olenyok Airport (ONK)

Olenyok Airport (ONK) is a vital Arctic aviation facility located in the Olenyoksky District of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, approximately 1 km from the village of Olenyok. The airport features a single, compact passenger terminal that serves as a critical transportation link for this remote region. Its infrastructure is designed for functional processing of arrivals and departures in extreme weather conditions, where winter temperatures frequently drop below -50°C. The terminal provides essential amenities for regional travelers, including a general waiting hall, check-in counters, and a dedicated security screening area. A small buffet-style café operates within the building, offering hot beverages and snacks suitable for the Arctic climate. Standard for regional Russian airports, the facility also includes a Mother and Child room and offers basic baggage storage and assistance for passengers with limited mobility. Operationally, the airport is managed by FKP "Airports of the North" and is primarily served by Polar Airlines and Yakutia Airlines, providing regular connections to Yakutsk. It also functions as a regional hub for helicopter services to even more isolated Arctic settlements. The terminal is located on Aviatorov Street and is easily accessible from the village center via local taxi services or a short walk during more favorable weather.
