Iturup Airport

Iturup Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Итуруп) (IATA: ITU, ICAO: UHSI) is a public airport on Iturup Island, in the Kuril Archipelago, Russia.

It is located 7 km (4.3 mi) northeast of the town of Kurilsk.

[5] Before Iturup Airport was built, Burevestnik Military Air Base, located 40 km southwest from the town center (or 60 km by road), had been the only airport serving Kurilsk.

Because it is often closed due to fog, the new Iturup Airport improves air traffic punctuality.

[4] The airport's only runway (marked 13/31) is 2,300 by 42 metres (7,546 ft × 138 ft) and has a concrete surface,[3] equipped with an Instrument Landing System and glideslope which facilitate Instrument Flight Rules landings.
