Arkhangelsk / Keg Ostrov Airfield serves Arkhangelsk, RU.
Arkhangelsk / Keg Ostrov Airfield (RU-0671) was the primary airport for Arkhangelsk from 1931 until 1982, when operations ceased due to frequent flooding of its unpaved runway.
During World War II, it served as a crucial hub for receiving and assembling British fighter planes from Allied convoys and was home to the Fifth Separate Air Regiment, which conducted approximately 60,000 combat sorties defending the city and Allied convoys. A monument honoring 28 fallen pilots was erected on the island in 1973.
Today, the airfield is defunct, though two streets on Kegostrov, "5th Aviation Regiment of the Civil Air Fleet" and "Kegostrov Airport," preserve its memory. The site is located approximately 3 km west of Arkhangelsk and is now considered a minor general aviation airfield with a 1100x20 meter dirt runway, though it has no ICAO or IATA code.
