Vladivostok International Airport (Russian: Международный аэропорт «Владивосток») (IATA: VVO, ICAO: UHWW) is located near Artyom, Primorsky Krai, Russia roughly an hour drive (44 kilometers) north of center of the city of Vladivostok. It was formerly known as Kiyevichi Airport, named after Khutor Kiyevichi it replaced (in many sources this is written as "Knevichi"). It consists of two passenger terminals: the Domestic Terminal and the International Terminal.
The airport has two airfields, Lake Springs and Knevichi.
Lake Springs Airfield
The Lake Springs airfield was designed for aircraft operating on regional routes. It has two artificially covered landing strips with a width of 21 meters. One is 1000 meters in length and the second is 600 meters. It isn't currently used for scheduled flights, and general aviation operates from there instead.
Knevichi
The Knevichi airfield was designed for all types of aircraft and has two artificially covered take-off and landing strips: The first runway is 3500 meters in length and 60 meters in width, and has a PCN 44/R/B/X/T (mixed) surface covering; The second runway has a length of 2700 meters and width of 60 meters, with a PCN 28/R/B/X/T surface covering.
[edit] 2005-2006 Reconstruction
The Domestic Terminal of the Vladivostok International Airport underwent complete renovation in 2005-2006, which made it one of the most comfortable and up-to-date airport terminals in Russia, besides Moscow airports. The renovated terminal was re-opened on December 19, 2006.
