Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Reopened

Confirm the flight still exists

Civil flying stopped on 24 February 2022 and resumed on 11 September 2025. Schedules since then have been rebuilt route by route.

The Kyiv Independent, citing Rosaviatsiya, reported the 11 September 2025 resumption and a first Moscow arrival set for 17 September 2025. A route that operated in 2018 is not evidence it operates now.

Hours

Reopening hours were 09:00 to 19:00

The Moscow Times reported that limit as 'until further notice' on 11 September 2025.

Do not treat 09:00–19:00 as today's rule unless krr.aero still says so. The airport website is the check.

Two buildings

Domestic and international terminals are separate buildings

Published photographs show a domestic terminal and an international terminal. Read the terminal on the boarding pass before the drop-off.

This guide does not have a post-2025 floor plan, so it does not guess walking times between the buildings.

Food

Plan on a simple terminal meal

A 2014 operator description mentioned cafés and shops. That page is archived, and this guide has no 2026 outlet list.

Buy water and food after you can see what is actually open. Do not count on a specific café name.

Live conditions

Right now at KRR

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Who this airport works for

Reopening-day hours were 09:00–19:00 until further notice
No verified current lounge access rules
Southern Russian airspace has faced repeated restrictions since 2022
