Makhachkala International Airport Uytash

Makhachkala, Russia · Europe

MCX is Dagestan's Caspian hub: about 2.8 million passengers in 2025, a 2021 international Terminal B with jet bridges, and a compact domestic Terminal A. Paper boarding passes are required, lounges are pay-VIP only, and Moscow flights absorb every airspace scare — but the airport itself is open for domestic and international traffic.
