It was originally opened in the 1960s and has since undergone significant modernization, including a major terminal expansion completed in 2017 to accommodate growing passenger traffic, particularly to nearby Black Sea resorts. Today, it stands as one of the busiest airports in Russia, connecting the vital agricultural and tourism region to domestic and international destinations.
Gelendzhik airport
Gelendzhik Airport, also known as Gelendzhik Airport (GDZ), is a domestic airport located on the Black Sea coast in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It was originally built as a military airfield in the 1960s and was later reconstructed and opened for civilian flights in 2010 to serve the popular resort city of Gelendzhik. Today, it primarily handles seasonal tourist traffic to the region.
Novorossiysk
Novorossiysk is a major port city on Russia’s Black Sea coast, founded in 1838 as a naval base. It played a significant role during World War II, enduring heavy fighting and earning the title “Hero City” for its defense. Today, it is a crucial economic and transport hub, known for its maritime industry and memorials to its wartime history.
