Kerch Airport

Kerch Airport (, Аэропорт «Керчь») is an airport in Kerch, Crimea. The airport is located 1.5 km northwest of the city (sometimes confused with the nearby Baherove Air Base). The airport is currently bankrupt, and was put on sale for 27 million UAH (3.3 million USD) by the city authorities.

Though the airport is bankrupt, it is still in service and is used by general aviation today. The airport itself is not in good condition. The runway needs repair, airport facilities are bad, there is a working ATC tower which is also needs improvements. There are no airline services to this airport.

Airline flights to/from the airport ceased operations in 2008, formerly encountering approximately 8-10 flights per day, both domestic and international. From 2005 to 2006, the airport tried to resume flights to Kyiv and Moscow using Motor Sich Airlines, but expenses were high and profit was too low, which made flying unprofitable.
