Pskov Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Псков) (IATA: PKV, ICAO: ULOO) is an airfield in Pskov Oblast, Russia located 6 km southeast of Pskov. It is a medium air base with 27 large revetments in a complex, sprawling taxiway layout. The civilian terminal area services 13 medium/large planes and 20 small planes. There is no instrument landing capability.
The primary military user is the 334 VTAP (334th Military Transport Aviation Regiment), operating Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft [2]. Passenger flights are operated by Antonov 24.
In 1990s regular flights were interrupted due to a significant reduction of the demand for passenger and cargo air service. Scheduled airline service opened again in May 2007[3]. In the beginning these services were operated by St. Petersburg based carrier Vyborg Airlines but has since then been taken over by UT Air. As of February 2008, the airline Rossiya also operates daily service to Moscow using Yak-40 aircraft.[4]
