Regional gateway serving the port city of Taganrog, Russia.

Location
Taganrog, Russia
Taganrog Yuzhny Airport (IATA: TGK, ICAO: URRT) is a regional airport located in Taganrog, a city in the Rostov Oblast of southern Russia situated on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Azov. The airport serves as a minor civil aviation facility in a region that is otherwise dominated by the larger Platov International Airport in nearby Rostov-on-Don. The airport has historically handled limited scheduled and charter flights, with its traffic significantly constrained by competition from Platov Airport, which opened in 2017 and became the primary hub for the wider Rostov-on-Don metropolitan area. Operations at Taganrog Yuzhny have been reduced over time, and the airport primarily serves general aviation, military, and occasional commercial purposes. Taganrog itself is an industrial and cultural city, known as the birthplace of the playwright Anton Chekhov. The airport's role in regional connectivity remains modest given its proximity to larger aviation infrastructure.
