The need to create a reliable air traffic interchange for this settlement arose long ago. Undoubtedly, such an important economic, cultural, scientific and industrial center was in dire need of solving this problem.
In Soviet times, local airports in Kemerovo were considered well-known, with the help of which the main transportation of goods was carried out. However, in the early 2000s, a decision was made to close them. The reason was the unprofitability of the content.
The most important airport in the city bears the name of pilot-cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who was born in the Tula district of the Kemerovo region. This international airport is located within the city, only 11 km from the center in a southeast direction, andfounded in 1960.
It should be noted that in the early 1990s, the airport underwent a large-scale reconstruction. This was necessary to obtain international status.
