History

Operations began on July 12, 1957 with the first passenger flight of Tupolev Tu-104 from Novosibirsk to Moscow. The airport was owned by United Tolmachevo Aviation Enterprise and Ministry of Civil Aviation of the USSR until 1992. The airport then became a joint stock company in 1995, with 51% owned by the state. The domestic terminal was completely renovated in 2006. Tolmachevo Airport is also the first Russian airport to receive ISO 9002-96 certificate.

Transport

The airport is located approximately 1 km away from the Tolmachevo railway station at the Trans-Sibirian Railway - a stop for only Elektrichka local commuter trains but not for any long-distance trains. Public transportation to the city is provided by a number of bus routes, as well as by private and municipal taxis.

Further expansion

In December 2011 the airport announced plans for its further development including construction of a new rapid-exit taxiway and a new passenger terminal (17.450 sq.m) which will effectively merge the two existing terminals into a larger joint terminal and allow to double its passenger capacity by the end of 2013.
