Sochi International Airport

Sochi International Airport (URSS) is a large airport in Sochi, Russia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code URSS or IATA code AER. It sits in Europe.

Sochi International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Sochi International Airport sits near sea level at 89 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Moscow. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for URSS updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in Russia, URSS tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Sochi International Airport is an international airport located in the Adler District of the resort city of Sochi, on the coast of the Black Sea in the federal subject of Krasnodar Krai, Russia. Sochi International Airport is among the ten largest Russian airports, with an annual passenger turnover of 5.2 million.
