While it mostly serves scheduled domestic destinations, part of it is still a military base of the Russian Air Force.

During World War II the airfield was taken over for military use. After the war, the airport was transferred to the Civil Air Fleet of the USSR in 1945, but military aircraft continued to be based at the airfield. In the 1950s, Khrabrovo was a major operating location for Ilyushin Il-28 (Beagle) tactical bombers, and at least one MiG-15 (Fagot) was observed at the airfield.[2] At this time it was known as Kaliningrad/Powunden Airfield. By the 1960s, the airfield was regaining its use for civil air transport, and a Joint Air Squadron was formed in 1961. The use of "Kaliningrad/Powunden" by Western intelligence ceased after July 1962 and the airfield became known as "Khrabrovo". At that time, the runway was listed as having a length of 1,920 m (6,290 ft) with alert aprons and 20 hardstands, but no aircraft were observed.[3] In 1977, the first Tupolev Tu-134 operations began, followed by the construction of a passenger terminal in 1979. Tupolev Tu-154 service began in 1988. In 1992, the enterprise separated from Vnukovo Production association and became an independent entity. The following year, the first scheduled international flights began. The air enterprise was renamed "Kaliningrad Avia" in 1997, but fell into receivership in 2001. The airport changed ownership the following year and became a joint stock company. In 2004, the runway, apron, and navigation facilities were rebuilt. The new air enterprise was renamed KD Avia in 2005, with the new terminal opened in 2007. In 2009, KD Avia airlines ceased operation. FIFA-2018 re-construction[edit] Airport's terminal entrance being partially demolished and reconstructed In July 2016, Novaport bought the Khrabrovo Airport from Aeroinvest.[4] As part of Russia's preparations to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup, on July 2017, a new terminal was put into operation. In addition, the airport infrastructure was modernized and this included the lengthening and reinforcement of the runway, the installation of new radiotechnical, lighting, and weather forecast equipment and construction of new aircraft parking spaces and a high-speed taxiway.[5] The reconstruction of the passenger terminal and the runway enlargement were officially finished on 27 April 2018.[6][7] Airlines and destinations[edit] The old terminal under reconstruction and merging with new terminal Interior of the old terminal Airlines Destinations Aeroflot Moscow–Sheremetyevo airBaltic Riga Azimuth Kaluga,[8] Krasnodar,[9][10] Mineralnye Vody,[11] Rostov-on-Don Azur Air Seasonal charter: Antalya, Dalaman,[12] Dubai–Al Maktoum[13] Belavia Minsk Seasonal: Brest, Gomel FlyArmenia Yerevan[14] LOT Polish Airlines Warsaw–Chopin Nordwind Airlines Chelyabinsk, Istanbul,[15] Kazan[16] Pegas Fly Nizhny Novgorod[17] Pobeda Moscow–Vnukovo, Saint Petersburg Rossiya Airlines Saint Petersburg RusLine Belgorod, Moscow–Vnukovo, Petrozavodsk, Pskov, Syktyvkar,[18] Voronezh S7 Airlines[19] Moscow–Domodedovo Seasonal: Novosibirsk (begins 24 April 2021)[19] Severstal Air Company Cherepovets Smartavia Moscow–Domodedovo Ural Airlines Moscow–Domodedovo,[20] Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg Seasonal: Anapa,[21] Arkhangelsk,[21] Sochi[21] Utair Moscow–Vnukovo UVT Aero Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Perm, Volgograd Uzbekistan Airways Tashkent Statistics[edit] Annual traffic[edit] Annual Passenger Traffic[22][23] Year Passengers % Change 2010 1,024,000 2011 1,229,017 20% 2012 1,188,422 3.3% 2013 1,314,046 10.6% 2014 1,460,054 11.1% 2015 1,542,360 5.6% 2016 1,570,854 1.8% 2017 1,780,000 13.9% 2018 2,149,413 20.13% Ground transportation[edit] The bus line No. 244э connects the airport with the Kaliningrad Main Bus/Railway Station.[24] See also[edit] List of the busiest airports in Russia List of the busiest airports in Europe List of the busiest airports in the former USSR References[edit] ^ "Report on 2018 passenger traffic data from Kaliningrad International Airport website".
