🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Princess Olga Pskov International Airport (IATA: PKV, ICAO: ULOO) is a dual military-civilian airfield located 6 kilometers southeast of Pskov in northwestern Russia, named in honor of Saint Olga of Kiev, the 10th-century ruler and first Christian sovereign of Kievan Rus. This facility operates as both a civilian airport serving Pskov Oblast and home to the 334th Military Transport Aviation Regiment, part of the 12th Military Transport Aircraft Division flying Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft, making it a medium air base with 27 large revetments in a complex taxiway layout.
The civilian terminal area accommodates up to 13 medium/large aircraft and 20 small planes, featuring recent upgrades including improved security screening systems and digital passenger information displays. The airport has implemented energy-efficient lighting and waste reduction programs in terminal operations. Current passenger service is provided exclusively by Azimuth Airlines operating Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft on domestic routes to Moscow, Kaliningrad, Sochi, Mineralnye Vody, and Makhachkala, following the bankruptcy of former primary carrier Pskovavia in November 2020.
The airfield consists primarily of a main runway designated 01/19, measuring 2,524 meters in length and 44 meters in width, with a paved hard surface capable of supporting medium-haul civilian jets and heavy military transports. A secondary parallel runway exists at approximately 2,000 meters, though it's limited to lighter aircraft operations. The facility lacks instrument landing capability, requiring visual flight rules under suitable weather conditions.
In 2024, Princess Olga Pskov International Airport recorded 163,535 passengers across all destinations, representing a 7.1% increase from 2023. The airport's strategic location near the Estonian and Latvian borders necessitates enhanced security protocols and document verification procedures. Military operations include regular Il-76 transport missions, while civilian operations focus on connecting Pskov to major Russian cities and supporting regional tourism to the historic city's UNESCO World Heritage sites including the medieval Kremlin and numerous Orthodox churches dating to the 12th-16th centuries.
