Location
Dudinka, Russia
Dudinka Airport (ICAO: UROD) is a small regional airport serving Dudinka, the administrative center of the Taymyr Dolgan-Nenets Municipal District in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. The airport provides essential air connectivity to this remote Arctic settlement, which is located near the mouth of the Yenisei River above the Arctic Circle.

The airport primarily handles domestic Russian routes, connecting the city to regional hubs such as Krasnoyarsk and Norilsk.
