2025: ₽21 Billion Airport Construction
In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), a new airport complex is being built in the city of Mirny with a total investment of ₽21 billion. The construction of the new aviation hub has reached 60-65% readiness, with the full completion of all work scheduled for 2027. The government of Yakutia announced this on July 18, 2025.
According to Vedomosti, the airfield infrastructure is 65.73% complete, and the terminal and engineering systems are 64% according to the press service of the government of the republic. Construction works are carried out in accordance with the approved project schedule.
Initial plans called for the facility to be commissioned in 2024, however the timeline had to be postponed due to changes in geocryological conditions at the runway site. The changed conditions required additional surveys and adjustments to the design documentation.
The head of Yakutia Aysen Nikolaev confirmed that all work goes strictly according to the approved schedule. The head of the region noted the importance of the project for the development of the transport infrastructure of the republic and ensuring the aviation accessibility of the northern territories.
The new airport is being built at a distance of 3 km from the existing aviation complex. The project provides for the construction of a modern runway 2.86 km long and 44 m wide. The technical characteristics of the runway will allow receiving wide-body aircraft of various types.
The airfield will be capable of simultaneously servicing 18 aircraft, which significantly exceeds the capabilities of the current airport. The capacity of the new airport complex will be 300 passengers per hour, which will provide comfortable service to the increased passenger traffic.
In parallel with the main facilities, lighting and meteorological equipment is being installed. Specialists arrange taxiways, apron and other auxiliary objects of aviation infrastructure. All systems meet modern safety standards.[1]
