Talagi Airport, airport
Talagi Airport is an aerodrome near Arkhangelsk in northern Russia that handles both civilian and military aircraft operations. The facility features a long concrete runway and provides connections to other Russian cities and select international destinations.
The site was established in 1963 as a military base and originally served military purposes during World War II with a gravel runway. Over the decades it evolved into a major transportation hub for the region, with civilian operations developing alongside the military presence.
The airport is located a few kilometers from central Arkhangelsk and is easily accessible by car or taxi with well-marked roads. The facility is well-organized with clear signage, accessible routes for wheelchair users, and helpful staff to assist travelers.
The facility is home to a small military squadron operating Antonov An-26 aircraft and Mil Mi-8 helicopters for regional transport and patrol missions. These aircraft are specially designed for northern conditions and play an important role in supporting remote communities across the region.
