Yurievo Airport (Russian: Юрьево) (sometimes written as Novgorod Southwest) (IATA: NVR, ICAO: ULNN) is one of the two airports in the city of Velikiy Novgorod, Russia (the other being Krechevitsy), located 4 km southwest of the city centre. Currently the airport is not operational. Yurievo was a busy airport in the Soviet era, with regular flights to Minsk, Moscow, Krasnodar, and other destinations. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the airport became abandoned due to economic stagnation. In 1996 Yurievo was hosting only one regular daily flight to Moscow, but it ceased very soon due to small numbers of travellers, deterred by high ticket prices.
As of 2006 the only purpose Yurievo serves is hosting a meteorological facility, still operational and providing weather forecasts for the city.
