Suntar Airport (ICAO: UENS) is an airport and possible former air base in Russia located 3 km north of Suntar. It is a fairly extensive airfield. The large 300-meter long tarmac area suggests that it was used for deployments of attack or bomber aircraft into the Arctic regions.
There is also a Suntar Khayata mountain range on the Kolyma Highway.
