Penza airport. History, description, flights of aircraft

Penza airport is the only one in the whole region. Its name is Ternovka. He refers to organizations of federal significance. It is located nine kilometers from the city center.

History of development

Back in the distant 1936, air transportation began in the Penza region. Three years later, in 1939, an airport was opened for civilian aircraft.

The passenger terminal appeared in 1963. By today, it has already been rebuilt twice. In the late seventies and early eighties, partial repairs were carried out. The complete reconstruction took place in 2003.

A band with artificial cover for take-off (landing) of aircraft was built in the early seventies.

The schedule of the Penza airport in the eighties included more than sixty flights per day in the summer. The airport was connected with many cities of the Soviet Union and most of the capitals of the Union republics.

The nineties are connected with the crisis in which the airport turned out to be. During this period, the number of flights was gradually reduced. By the autumn of 1998, they were closed completely. Over the next four years, until 2003, the Penza airport accepted only transit flights in a warm period.

A new stage of development

The second life of "Ternovka" began in the autumn of 2003 after reconstruction. After that on the Yak-40 plane flights to Moscow were restored three times a week (on Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Next year, flights to the capital were sent on weekdays, that is, five times a week. Work in the summer months kept the schedule of previous years.

The number of flights to Moscow doubled in early 2006. In June of the same year, the Saratov-St. Petersburg flight was launched with a stop in Penza.

For several months of 2008 the Yak-42 carried out flights in all directions. They stopped because of the financial crisis. Something like this was with the flights of "Rusline" to Moscow. They were opened less than two months in early 2010. These flights ceased due to a small demand.

Flights of Penza airport in the second half of 2010 were carried out by the airline "Ak Bars Aero".

The winter period of 2010-2011 became special for the airfield. During this period, flights to St. Petersburg were not canceled for the winter, they became year-round.

In the summer of 2013, the airport "Ternovka" again entered the reconstruction stage. The artificial runway was completely replaced. Its repair began in 2008, when the length of the runway was increased by seven hundred meters. But the extended lane was put into operation only in September 2013. The total length of the runway was 2.8 kilometers. Immediately after its introduction, the airport for the first time in its history took the Tu-154.
