Help fellow travelers by sharing your experience at Kursk East Airport. Tips are reviewed before publishing.
Due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and associated airspace restrictions, Kursk East Airport (UUOK/URS) has suspended passenger and cargo traffic since February 2022. Consequently, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences available for this airport.
Travel advisories from various authorities strongly recommend against travel to Russia, particularly regions bordering Ukraine like Kursk, due to the danger associated with the continuing war, the risk of harassment or wrongful detention, and the possibility of terrorism. Russian airspace, especially near the border, faces significant restrictions and is considered a "Do Not Fly" zone by some aviation authorities due to the threat of anti-aircraft fire and drone attacks, which have impacted airports in the region.
In summary, Kursk East Airport is currently not operational for civilian passenger traffic, and the surrounding region is subject to significant travel warnings and airspace restrictions due to the ongoing geopolitical situation. It is not possible to provide a summary of recent traveler experiences under these circumstances.

IMPORTANT: Kursk East Airport (URS) has been closed to all civilian air traffic since February 2022 due to the ongoing conflict. There are no passenger flights, and therefore no regular taxi services are available at the terminal. When the airport was operational, taxis and ride-sharing apps like Yandex.Go were the most common way to travel the approximately 8 km to the city center.
Due to the indefinite closure of the airport to civilian flights, there are no car rental agencies operating at the Kursk East Airport terminal. To rent a car, you would need to contact rental agencies located within the city of Kursk directly, but services may be limited.
As the airport is not operational for passenger flights, public transport routes that previously served the airport are likely suspended or significantly altered. When it was open, the airport was connected to the city by several marshrutka (minibus) and bus routes. These services are not currently a reliable option for reaching the airport terminal.
