Encyclopedia
Beslan Airport is a civilian airport in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Russia
located 5 km northeast of Beslan
and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Vladikavkaz
. It is a small airport servicing medium-sized airliners. It parks 5 aircraft and 9 smaller ones.
The airport has 2 terminals, one domestic and one international. The international terminal serves occasional charter flights to Antalya
(Turkey
) and a few other destinations.
The airport's operational hours are from 09h00 to 20h00 Moscow time
.
On November 18, 2008 the airport was certified to service the Airbus A319. This type of aircraft will replace the Tu-154 on S7 Airlines
route to Moscow-Domodedovo. The A319 is ideal for flights to Vladikavkaz because it exerts an acceptable load on the runway during takeoff and landing compared to the Boeing B737-500, which were banned from the airport in 2007.
