Krasnoyarsk Cheremshanka Airport

Krasnoyarsk Cheremshanka Airport (Russian: Красноярский аэропорт Черемшанка) (ICAO: UNKM) is a domestic airport in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, situated 23 kilometres (14 mi) northwest of Krasnoyarsk. Since 1982 it is also the base of a helicopter detachment of civil defense, featuring the Mil Mi-6 and Mil Mi-8 aircraft. Besides civil defense and military use, the airfield is used for civilian passenger traffic flights of Antonov An-24 and Antonov An-26 aircraft. It is the hub of KrasAvia airline. The airport is an unusual case, as the airport practically shares the same perimetre as the neighbouring Yemelyanovo Airport, down to having the two airport runways being the exact same bearing, 11/29. The only differences between the two airports on approach are the slightly different positioning of the runways, as well as the differing runway lengths.
