Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox airport

Bykovo (Шаблон:Lang-ru) Шаблон:Airport codes was a small regional airport serving Moscow, Russia, of which only the runway remains. The airport was located about Шаблон:Convert southeast of the city along the Ryazan highway and railway close to the town of Zhukovsky. It has one 7,250 ft (2,210 m) runway. The airport served mainly short-haul domestic flights due to its short runway.

History

Bykovo Airport first opened in 1933. The airport first had a grass-surfaced runway. During World War II, it was rebuilt (1000 × 80 m; brick-covered). In 1960, it was rebuilt again. In 1975, the terminal building was built (capable of serving 400 passengers per hour); in 1975, it served 1.5 million passengers. The airport was home to the charter flights department of Centre-Avia.

On 18 October 2010, passenger operations at the airport ended due to the expiration of lease terms with the management company.[1] In 2011, the terminal building was demolished.

The airport shared its grounds with the Bykovo Aircraft Repair Facility, specializing in repairs and overhauls of Soloviev D-30 turbofans; the factory continues to use the runway for cargo delivery.

The new Zhukovsky International Airport (a.k.a. Ramenskoye) is a few kilometers southeast of Bykovo Airport.
