Location
Neryungri, Russia
Chulman Airport, officially known by its location name Neryungri, is a regional airport situated in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in the Russian Far East. It serves the city of Neryungri, a major coal-mining center in southern Yakutia, and provides essential air connectivity to this otherwise remote area.
