FIDS still labels it Terminal 1. The Business Terminal is the rebuilt 2019 VIP/delegation hall — not a scheduled door. Leftover T1-domestic / T2-international maps leftover-stale. - >- 4,263,566 passengers in 2025 (operator KJA TEAM results): 3,421,272 domestic and 786,939 international (+5.2%). SIA quotes the same total vs 4,282,000 in 2024 (−0.4%). The two published splits do not arithmetically add to the headline — do not invent a third bucket. - >- 27 km west of Krasnoyarsk, 10 km off the R-255 (operator how-to-get-there). No metro. No airport rail — leftover Aeroexpress-style plans leftover-not-live. Cheremshanka sits next door on the same 11/29 heading with no connecting taxiway — do not confuse the two fields. - >- Desks close 40 minutes before departure. Check-in start depends on the airline and is not later than 2 hours out. Floor-1 kiosks sit left of the info desk; no-bags desk 22 except Aeroflot (live registration page). Leftover desk 27 leftover-stale. - >- Named for Dmitry Hvorostovsky (31 May 2019). ICAO UNKL. Runway 11/29 is 3,700 × 60 m CAT II both ends. Elevation 287 m. Open H24. Six jet bridges, 4 escalators, 21 elevators, 1,300 pph. - >- Official taxi is Yandex Go. Uber is unavailable in Russia. Bolt is not a live Krasnoyarsk option even if a Europe-region app still shows a Bolt tile. Unified e-visa covers 64 countries; UK/US/CA/AU/NZ still need a consular visa. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Desks die at 40 minutes — airlines open no later than 2 hours out detail: >- Operator registration page: start depends on the carrier and is not later than 2 hours before departure.
