Volgograd International Airport
Volgograd International Airport ((ロシア語:Международный Аэропорт Волгоград)) is an airport in Russia located 15 km northwest of Volgograd. It comprises a civilian airport built on top of an older military runway (3300 m), now demolished. The terminal area parks 42 medium/large aircraft and 91 small aircraft.
