What is Bryansk Airport? How does he work? We will consider these and other questions in the article as detailed as possible. This air harbor is an international airport of federal significance. It is located 14 km southwest of the metropolis of Bryansk on the air highway R-22, connecting Moscow with Kyiv, as well as with the Middle East and Western Europe. It is the entrance terminal of Russia on the southwest course.
History
What is the history of Bryansk Airport? It is known that the construction of an air gate on a hill between the metropolis of Bryansk and the village of Gorodishche (the future geographical center of the city) began in 1926. In 1927, the opening of the Bryansk airfield was celebrated.
In 1928-1929, Valery Chkalov served in the 15th Bryansk Aviation Squadron. And in 1934, a regular air hub began to operate for refueling and maintenance of aircraft flying according to the Moscow-Kyiv scheme.
In 1941, the runway "A" and the taxiway of the Bryansk air harbor were modernized. From 1942 to 1943, the airfield was used by the invaders. From 1945 to 1955, the 204 air group was located here. Moscow squadron, and then the 3rd division of the 170th air command.
In 1946, a civilian air hub began its work in the metropolis of Bezhitsa (in 1956 it became part of Bryansk). In 1955, the 189th squadron of special-purpose aviation and local air lines was stationed here. In 1961, a civil airport was opened on the basis of the Bryansk military airfield.
In 1964, the Bryansk United Air Squadron was created on the basis of the 189 air group. 1968 became famous for the beginning of the Bryansk operation of the Yak-40 turbojet monoplane. In 1974, the terminal and part of the services moved to a new building on the inverse side of the GDP (today - Law Faculty of BSU). And finally, in 1994, on December 8, at 15:43, the lights of the old terminal in the center of the metropolis went out forever.
October
So, we continue to consider the Bryansk airport further. So, in 1994, in the village of Oktyabrskoye, an operating airport was opened, which already in 1995, in September, received the status of an international one.
In July 1996, the first transnational flight on the An-24 to Varna was performed. And in July 1997, the first flight of the Yak-40 to Burgas was made. In the same year, flights were opened to Burgas and Istanbul on Tu-134. The first Tu-154 arrived in Bryansk in 1998.
In 1999, cargo flights to China were opened. In 2000, flights were completed on all lines, with the exception of charter flights to Antalya and Hurghada. In 2010, flights Moscow (Domodedovo) - Bryansk - Moscow (Domodedovo) were launched. In 2011, charter flights appeared to Egypt, Turkey, Spain, Greece, and in 2013 - to Turkey (Antalya) andGreece (Thessaloniki).
Since 2013, travelers can fly to St. Petersburg three times a week (during the winter months and until 11.05 flights are operated twice a week). Since 2014, aircraft began to carry passengers on charter flights to Turkey (Antalya) twice a week (summer months).

Condition
What is the state of Bryansk Airport today? It almost completely lacks any ground infrastructure, equipment is worn out, the runway needs to be reconstructed. The restructuring of the air harbor is included in the Federal Transport Renovation Project in 2018-2020. The government plans to allocate 3,135.8 million rubles from the budgets of all levels.
Today, the heavenly gates are approved to receive the following aircraft: Il-76, An-148, Tu-134, Yak-42D, Tu-204 (214), Yak-40, Boeing-737-400 (500)", "Airbus A 319", An-74, Embraer E-170, Tu-154 and helicopters of all types.
Building
Quite recently, the old Bryansk airport was built up with residential buildings. This development turned out to be cramped, and in 2016 it was recognized as incorrect. And although this assessment is not advertised by either the developers themselves or the authorities, according to the Bryansk media, builders will be recommended to reducenumber of storeys of buildings.
One should have foreseen that cramming a colossal amount of buildings into a local square would someday overwhelm even skyscraper fans. In fact, they made a mistake already when they decided to push an entire metropolis into a small area. To do this, it was allowed to build tasteless towers.
Today it was decided to reduce the number of floors. However, such a plan may face resistance from construction companies. And some of the former air gates are already occupied by tall buildings, between which you can see gorges without parking lots and platforms.
From Domodedovo to Bryansk
So, we have already said that the Region-Avia airline in 2010, June 3, opened direct regular flights from Domodedovo Airport to Bryansk. This city is a unique line for the air hub of Moscow. Flights are operated a couple of times every seven days on the comfortable boards of Embraer 120. Bryansk has already become the seventh destination in the route network of the Region-Avia airline from the Domodedovo terminal.
