Remote Arctic gateway serving the coal-mining city of Inta.
Location
Inta, Russia
Inta Airport (IATA: INA, ICAO: UUYI) is a regional airport located in Inta, a city in the Komi Republic of northwestern Russia, situated above the Arctic Circle. The airport serves as the primary air link for this remote settlement, which has historically been associated with coal mining in the Pechora Basin.
Given Inta's geographic isolation and declining population following the post-Soviet contraction of the coal industry, the airport handles limited traffic, primarily serving scheduled regional routes and occasional charter flights. Air connectivity is essential for residents of Inta due to the lack of practical road connections to major Russian cities.

The airport has a small single terminal suited to the low passenger volumes typical of remote Arctic regional airports.
