Guests welcome Vologda. Airport: where to find, how to get there

Vologda airport is located ten kilometers from Vologda and is an air transport hub that serves regional flights.

Airport History

In the twenties of the last century, biplanes were assembled near the village of Kovyrino.

Later, in the thirties, the first passenger planes began to appear in the district. Immediately began the active establishment of a regular transportation system along the route Arkhangelsk - Moscow. Naturally, the flights were carried out with transplants, which were carried out in the city of Vologda.

Up to the end of the seventies there was a huge passenger traffic. Freight turnover also had quite impressive indicators. Due to such a huge number of flights the terminal building was overloaded. In addition, because of any minor error of the dispatchers, aircraft could collide in the air and on the runway.

Due to the inability of the airport to serve such a large passenger flow, management decided to close the building, which happened in 1978. At the moment, this territory, called the "old Vologda airport", is occupied by various warehouses.

In 1981, the new airport building was commissioned. The airline started its active development, several new models of airplanes with more spaciousness began to be used to transport passengers.
