Location
Mirny, Russia
Mirny Airport (IATA: MJZ, ICAO: UERR) serves the city of Mirny in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia, a remote region known for its vast diamond deposits and the famous Mir mine. The airport is a critical transport link for this isolated city, as road access to Mirny is extremely limited, making air travel the primary means of connection to the rest of Russia. The airport handles scheduled domestic flights, primarily connecting Mirny with major Russian cities such as Moscow and Yakutsk. It also supports operations related to the diamond industry, including charter and cargo flights serving the enterprises of ALROSA, the dominant diamond-mining company headquartered in Mirny.
Terminals
The airport has a single passenger terminal designed to handle the modest traffic volumes of this remote regional hub.
Getting to & from
