Amderma Airport

Amderma Airport (IATA: AMV, ICAO: ULDD) is a former interceptor base in Arctic Russia, near Novaya Zemlya, located 4 km west of Amderma (Амдерма).

It is a simple airfield built on a spit along the ocean, with some tarmac space.

The facility's prime purpose was to defend the northern approaches to European Russia.

Since the 1960s, the airfield has been home to the 72 Guards Interceptor Aviation Regiment (72 Gv IAP) of the 10th Independent Army of the Air Defence Forces, which was operating at least 31 MiG-31 aircraft during the 1991-94 period.

[2] Nordavia used to operate twice-monthly flights to Arkhangelsk via Naryan-Mar using Antonov An-24 aircraft.
