Dikson Airport is a small airport in Russia located 5 km west of Dikson on a small island across from the town. It primarily services small transport aircraft. Central Intelligence Agency reports from 1952 released under the Freedom of Information Act indicate that the USSR was using Dikson as a staging airfield for Tupolev Tu-4 (Bull) aircraft.
