Perm International Airport (PEE)

Perm International Airport (PEE), also known as Bolshoye Savino, is the primary aviation gateway to the Perm Krai region of Russia, located approximately 11 miles (18 km) southwest of the city center. The airport operates from a modern 30,000-square-meter passenger terminal that was inaugurated in late 2017, designed to handle up to 900 passengers per hour with a highly efficient and contemporary layout. As a joint-use facility, it serves as a critical civilian transport hub while simultaneously acting as a strategic base for the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of amenities across two main levels, including a specialized business lounge located after security that offers refreshments and quiet workspaces. Travelers have access to multiple dining options serving traditional Russian cuisine like borscht and pelmeni, alongside several retail outlets selling travel essentials and local souvenirs. The facility is equipped with 20 check-in counters and 4 modern baggage carousels, ensuring a streamlined experience for both domestic travelers and those on international charter flights.

Ground transportation to central Perm is well-supported by regular municipal bus and minibus (marshrutka) services that connect the terminal to the city's main bus station in approximately 35 to 45 minutes. Official taxi ranks are readily available 24/7 outside the arrivals exit, and the facility offers extensive parking options including a free zone and secure long-term lots. The airport also provides a premium VIP lounge in a separate area, featuring personalized check-in and private transport directly to the aircraft for high-profile passengers.
