Astrakhan International Airport (URWA), officially the Astrakhan Narimanovo Boris M. Kustodiev International Airport, lies in southern Russia near the Caspian Sea, serving the city of Astrakhan. It offers a single long, ILS-equipped runway and Class B airspace, making it a straightforward destination for airliners, business jets and helicopters alike in the simulator.
Astrakhan International Airport, known locally as Narimanovo Airport and carrying the full ceremonial title Astrakhan Narimanovo Boris M. Kustodiev International Airport, is a large civil aerodrome serving the city of Astrakhan in southern Russia near the Caspian Sea. For the simulator pilot it is a good destination for wide-body and narrow-body airliner operations as well as helicopter work, thanks to its single very long paved runway and full ILS coverage.
The airport sits in Astrakhan Oblast in southern Russia, close to the Caspian Sea, and operates within Class B airspace. It serves the city of Astrakhan and the surrounding Volga delta region, with the airfield itself associated with the nearby settlement of Narimanovo, from which its popular name derives.
URWA has a single physical runway, 09/27, oriented east-west. It is 10,470 feet long with a hard surface, fully lit, and equipped with ILS at both thresholds, giving instrument approach capability in either direction.
Radio services published for URWA include Approach on 126 MHz, Tower (callsign ARSA) on 118.6 MHz, ATIS (callsign KRUG) on 131.5 MHz, and Ground on 123.4 MHz. The runway is served by ILS, supporting instrument approaches to Category I minima.
The airport carries the honorific name of the Russian painter Boris M. Kustodiev as part of its full official title, Astrakhan Narimanovo Boris M. Kustodiev International Airport, and is also widely known simply as Narimanovo Airport after the nearby locality.
URWA operates as a Class B airfield capable of handling a wide range of traffic, including Boeing and Airbus types as well as helicopters. The runway pavement is rated at PCN 63/F/C/X/T, and the field is equipped for ICAO Category I meteorological operations, supporting instrument approaches in reduced visibility. A detailed recreation of the airport is available as an add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
