Remote Russian Far East airfield serving Sovetskaya Gavan Bay.

Location
Zavety Il'icha, Russia
Sovetskaya Gavan (Postovaya) Airport, designated ICAO code UHKP, is a small regional airfield located near the settlement of Zavety Il'icha in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. It serves the Sovetskaya Gavan area, a port town situated on Sovetskaya Gavan Bay along the Sea of Japan in Russia's Far East. The airport primarily supports regional connectivity in one of Russia's more remote coastal regions. Aviation infrastructure in this area is limited, and the facility handles light regional traffic rather than scheduled commercial operations at any significant scale. Given its remote location and sparse population base, the airport plays a logistical role for local communities where road and rail alternatives may be limited or impractical for certain routes.
