Dzemgi Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Дземги) (ICAO: UHKD) is an air base in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia located 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Komsomolsk-na-Amure. Dzhemgi is Komsomolsk-na-Amure's northeast side airport, handling small airliner traffic.
The airport is also the site of a major Sukhoi plant (GAZ 126), built in 1934, where the Sukhoi Su-7 and later models have been built. In September 2007 Sukhoi unveiled a passenger jet, the Superjet 100, at the airport,[1] as well in January 2010 the new fifth generation stealth fighter jet the Sukhoi PAK FA (T-50).
Military units that have served at Dzemgi include:
Google Earth high-resolution satellite imagery accessed in 2006 showed a rare glimpse of over 40 interceptor aircraft distributed across the airfield on a webwork of interceptor alert pads, much as Soviet PVO bases would have operated during the peak of the Cold War. Although some of the aircraft are probably operational, others are probably simply parked and awaiting depot maintenance at the airfield's Sukhoi facility.
