Remote Arctic gateway serving Russia's Yamalo-Nenets gas region.

Location
Nadym, Russia
Nadym Airport (IATA: NYM, ICAO: USMM) is a regional airport serving the town of Nadym in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of northwestern Siberia, Russia.

Flights typically connect Nadym to Moscow, Tyumen, and other major Russian hubs. The facility operates under challenging Arctic weather conditions, including extreme cold and reduced visibility periods common to the region.
