Remote Arctic airfield serving the Moma district of Yakutia.

Location
Khonuu, Russia
Moma Airport (IATA: MQJ, ICAO: UEMA) is a small regional airport located near Khonuu, the administrative center of the Moma District in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia. Situated in one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions of northeastern Siberia, the airport serves as a vital lifeline for local communities that have no road connections to the outside world. The airport handles light regional air traffic, primarily supporting residents, government operations, and supply flights. Given the extreme subarctic climate of the area, operations can be challenging, particularly during the harsh winter months when temperatures can drop to extremely low levels.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Khonuu is limited to local road or off-road vehicles, as no formal public transit infrastructure exists.

A remote Siberian lifeline connecting Khonuu to the wider world

Moma Airport serves the small settlement of Khonuu in the Sakha Republic of Russia, one of the most isolated and coldest regions on Earth. It functions as a critical air link for a community where road access is virtually nonexistent for much of the year. The airport plays an essential role in supplying the local population with goods, medical services, and connectivity to regional centers.

Terminals
  • Main Terminal — A small, basic single-room facility serving the limited scheduled and charter flights that connect Khonuu to Yakutsk and other regional points.
Ground Transport
  • Local taxi or private vehicle arrangements through community contacts
  • Walking to nearby settlement areas for those close to the airstrip
Dining

There are no formal dining facilities at Moma Airport. Visitors should bring their own food and supplies, as the settlement of Khonuu has extremely limited commercial infrastructure. Any provisions are best secured in Yakutsk before traveling to this remote location.

Traveller Tips
  • Flights to and from Moma Airport are infrequent and highly weather-dependent — always confirm schedules well in advance.
  • Temperatures can drop below -50°C in winter; dress in extreme cold-weather gear regardless of season.
  • Carry all essential medications, food, and supplies from Yakutsk as local availability is very limited.
  • Inform someone of your travel plans given the remote location and limited communication infrastructure in the area.
