Polyarny Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Полярный) (IATA: PYJ, ICAO: UERP) (also Udachnaya or Poliarny) is an airport in Yakutia, Russia located 1 km west of Novyy. It services all types of aircraft. The airfield is built on a 4000 x 190 m gravel base, with the first 100 m of runway unusable for takeoff. It is designated as an emergency airfield for cross-polar airline traffic between North America and Asia.
Some Russian sources indicate an airfield at or near "Polyarny" for Tupolev Tu-4 staging flights to China to perform reconnaissance missions on American fusion bomb tests [1].
