Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
• The first large airport in modern Russia built entirely from scratch.
• High-level infrastructure: 9 jet bridges — almost a record among regional Russian airports, a modern terminal, reinforced apron pavement, and wide taxiways.
• Platov functions as a regional hub, offering convenient connections within Southern Russia as well as strong domestic and international coverage.
• More than 30 airlines and over 40 destinations.
• Received the Skytrax 5-star rating for passenger service in its second year of operation.
• Ideal for WoA due to its medium size, wide aircraft range, generous stand availability, and straightforward airfield layout — suitable for features like dynamic wind changes.

• It can also be used as one of the “Generic Airports” in this region.
