Illustrative image

Irkutsk International Airport (IKT), opened on 24 June 1925, is one of the most important transport hubs in Eastern Siberia. Due to its proximity to the Angara reservoir, the terminal is often affected by a microclimate of dense fog that occasionally impacts flight regularity. It operates an extensive network of domestic routes and international connections to various destinations in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, China, Turkey and Egypt.
