Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Not officially closed. The designation 'closed' in some unofficial aviation databases is not substantiated by official sources or recent satellite imagery (as of late 2023), which show a well-maintained and active heliport.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable, as the heliport has not been permanently closed. Its operational status is fluid and dependent on the logistical needs of the Arctic LNG 2 project. Any 'closed' status likely refers to a data error in a specific database or a temporary, non-notable deactivation for operational reasons.

Current Status

The site is an active, private-use heliport. It is an integral part of the internal transportation infrastructure for the Arctic LNG 2 project, managed by Novatek and its contractors. It is not a public airport, and its designator, RU-0944, is an internal or national index used for domestic purposes, not an official ICAO code for international flight planning.

Historical Significance

The site is a modern, private heliport with no broad historical significance. Its importance is purely logistical, established circa 2019-2020 to support the construction and operation of the massive Arctic LNG 2 project. It serves as a landing pad for helicopters (such as the Mil Mi-8/Mi-17) that transport personnel and light cargo to and from the 'Southern dome' facility—a large, climate-controlled structure for work or accommodation—within the Utrenneye gas field. It connects this specific site to the main Utrenny Airport (ICAO: USDS) and other project facilities on the Gydan Peninsula.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable, as the heliport is not permanently closed. Its operational future is directly linked to the lifecycle and logistical requirements of the Arctic LNG 2 project. It is expected to remain in use for the foreseeable future, as long as the project requires helicopter support at this specific location.
