What Travellers Should Know
- The airport uses the Asia/Yekaterinburg time zone, so double-check local time when planning flights, pickups, or tours.

- The runway surface is asphalt and it is lighted, which supports operations in low light and after dark.

- If you are connecting onward, keep essentials, documents, and any pre-booked transfer details easy to access.
On Arrival
Passengers arriving at BXY should think of the airport as a functional gateway rather than a sprawling hub, and that mindset helps with planning. Distances in the surrounding region can feel longer than they appear on a map, so confirmed ground transport matters. The single long, lighted runway reflects an airport built for dependable access, while the local time zone and remote setting make it especially important to check schedules, transfer arrangements, and any destination-specific requirements before you travel.
