Achinsk Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Ачинск) (IATA: ACS, ICAO: UNKS) is an air base in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Achinsk. It is a civilian airfield with minor facilities for small number of fighter aircraft. One source lists the 712th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment at Kansk but lists Achinsk as a diversionary airfield.[1]

Recent developments

On 30 March 2012, the new manager of the airport Valeri Gusarov has outlined his plans for the future of the airport, including making airport operations all year round rather than seasonal and expanding the operations beyond the Krasnoyarsk region.[2]
