History
Yagelnoye Airport
In the early 1970s, the population of Novy Urengoy was 520 people. There was no hospital or school in the settlement. In 1975, a small Yagelnoye airport was opened to receive important cargo at the site of the modern airport, the terminal of which was located in a small wooden building, but even then it was of great importance for the development of the Urengoy gas condensate field.
The new airport complex Novy Urengoy began to be built in 1977, and in the summer of 1980, a reinforced concrete runway, landing system facilities of the 1st direction, a service and passenger building for 50 passengers per hour, part of the apron and helicopter parking areas (heliport No. 1) were put into operation. Already in July 1980, the first technical flight Tu-134 was carried out from the new airport. By the end of the 1980s, a helicopter repair base, a landing system for the 2nd direction, a special vehicle base and a heliport No. 2 were built at the airport.
The 1990s did not prevent the development of the airport's infrastructure: a boiler room, a new service and passenger building with a capacity of 300 passengers per hour, a parking garage, a production complex of the fuel base and an emergency rescue station were erected.
In February 2012, the airport was transferred from federal ownership to regional ownership. In the period from 2012 to 2014, the airport terminal underwent reconstruction: work was carried out on the cladding of the building, connecting the departure and arrival buildings. There were also plans to build a new terminal, lengthen and expand the runway and apron, but in 2015, due to financial difficulties, it was decided only to lengthen and expand the runway and taxiways.
On July 25, 2017, a competition was announced for investors who are ready to carry out a large-scale reconstruction of the airport. On September 7, 2018, the airport came under the operational management of the Airports of the Regions holding, which plans to build a modern terminal with three telescopic ladders and with a capacity of up to 1.45 million passengers per year by the end of 2021, build new parking lots on the forecourt, reconstruct the apron, runway and taxiways.
