Mineralnye Vody Airport () (also written as Mineralnyye Vody Airport, which "Mineralnye Vody" literally translates to Mineral Waters) is an airport in Stavropol Krai, Russia, located 4 km west of Mineralnye Vody. It features a civilian terminal area on its west side with 41 parking spots. The airfield houses a Tupolev Tu-154 maintenance facility on the east side.

History

On 22 June 2014, Transaero Airlines began operating the Boeing 747-400 from Moscow. The airline operated the aircraft into the airport during the peak holiday seasons on Sundays, with the aircraft carrying a maximum of 522 passengers. To that date, the 747-400 is the largest aircraft to have operated into the airport.

In July 2016, Novaport bought the Mineralnye Vody Airport from Aeroinvest.

Mineralnye Vody has experienced rapid growth in recent years. It reached almost 5 million passengers in 2024, making it the 93rd busiest airport in Europe and the 9th busiest in Russia. On May 14, 2025, a new terminal with five airbridges was opened. It is intended solely for domestic flights, while the older terminal has since been dedicated exclusively to international operations.
