Airport map

The map on this page is rendered from OpenStreetMap data: airports with terminal polygons show the terminal buildings, aprons and access roads, while small fields show the airfield outline and runway. Icons for parking, buses, food, hotels and car rentals follow whatever OSM has mapped.

  • Full-size view — open the map card on this page to zoom in; the 2000 px original can be downloaded.
  • Location map — the interactive map lets you pan and zoom to see the field against the city and road network.
  • Schematic — the page also draws a size-based schematic to indicate the airport's scale; it is not the actual layout.

Size and facilities

Large airports run multiple runways and terminals and handle millions of passengers a year. Queue times at check-in and security vary strongly by time of day; for international flights plan to arrive 2–3 hours before departure.

Terminal plans, check-in locations and ground-transport timetables are published by the airport itself; for detail that must be right on the day, rely on the airport's own information. If something here looks wrong, please tell us via the Contact page and we will check it.

Tips

  • If your destination is not in the table above, you will usually connect via Makhachkala Uytash International Airport (MCX) or another larger airport.
  • Use the search box at the top of the page to compare alternatives: type a city name or IATA code.
  • In peak season parking and rental cars run short at small fields too — book ahead if you are driving.
