Makhachkala Uytash Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Махачкала Уйташ) (IATA: MCX, ICAO: URML) is a civil airport located near Makhachkala and just south of the city of Kaspiysk which is on the west side of the Caspian Sea.

It is named after Amet-khan Sultan, World War II fighter pilot, twice Hero of the Soviet Union.

The naming was found controversial by the Crimean Tatars, with whom Amet-khan openly affiliated, as an attempt to detatarize his origins.

[2] South East Airlines (formerly Dagestan Airlines) had its head office on the property of the airport.
