Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

Street door is the 2017 Passenger Terminal. Departures is the cable-stayed glass hall marked ОТПРАВЛЕНИЕ / DEPARTURES; arrivals is the neighbouring ПРИЛЁТ / ARRIVALS kerb.

Check-in is floor 1. Screening is floor 1. Domestic and international holds are floor 3 after passport control. Operator business lounges are floor 4. Mother-and-child room is floor 2 landside, right wing — ask at the info desk opposite the entrance.

EAEU arrivals use the same floor-1 bag hall as domestic (tactile map: belts 1, oversized/search 2, transfer 3, bus tickets 4). International non-EAEU is passport control then bags then customs.

The Business Terminal is the white hall to the left of the jet-bridge block on the apron — VIP and delegations only. Leftover “Terminal 2 international scheduled” leftover-wrong since the 2017 move.

Six jet bridges; remote stands still use apron buses. Operator specs leftover “terminal 1 and 2, 58,000 m², 1,300 pph” describe the campus, not two live scheduled doors.

Transfers under the operator’s EAEU/sterile rules can stay airside after the 2025 zone expansion. Through-check still depends on the airline — if the second boarding pass is not in hand, assume you will exit and re-screen.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

No metro. No airport rail. Operator how-to-get-there: 27 km west, 40–50 minutes by car if you keep the limit, 10 km off the R-255 near Yemelyanovo / Sukhaya.
Bus 202 is the public option from the intercity bus station (MAV). Tickets at the arrivals bus office, +7 950 984-37-98, or krasavtovokzal.ru. Aggregators show about 35–50 minutes typical, some runs 1 h 20 m. Yandex lists from 141 ₽; leftover 125 ₽ (2023 24tr) leftover-unverified as a 2026 fare — pay the till at the desk. Schedule was revised 19 February 2026.
Official taxi is Yandex Go at arrivals. Uber unavailable RU. Bolt is not a live Krasnoyarsk product even if a Europe-region app still paints a Bolt tile.
Parking (operator English page): P6 free; P1 kerb 15 minutes then 1,000 ₽/h; P2 300 ₽/h from minute 16 then 600 ₽/day; P3 15 minutes then 250 ₽/h; P4 15 minutes then 250 ₽/h and 500 ₽/day; P5 under construction. Lost card 1,500 ₽. 15 minutes to leave after paying. Notes of 10 / 200 / 2,000 / 5,000 ₽ and coins are not accepted at the machines.
Curb waiting is not parking. P1 is the drop-off. Use P6 or P3/P4 if the flight is late.
