Tomsk Kamov Airport

History

The airport opened in November 1967 and replaced another airport within the Kashtak district in the city of Tomsk. The Kashtak site was rebuilt with multistory apartment buildings and turned into a bedroom community of Tomsk.

In 2004 and 2005, the passenger terminal and the open space in front of the airport were reconstructed at a cost of 70 million roubles.

Construction of a new runway and facilities for flights to Central Asia began in 2006. The construction budget for 2006 totaled 120 million roubles.

In the fall of 2006, construction began on a new road connecting Bogashevo to the Akademgorodok scientific research district.

In 2020, Russian politician and government critic Alexei Navalny fell ill after drinking tea in the airport cafe. He was scheduled to fly home to Moscow. It is believed the cup of tea was poisoned and he fell unconscious, with the plane diverting to Omsk instead.

In 2021, a 2.5 billion ruble contract was signed for the construction of a new domestic passenger terminal, scheduled to be completed by March 2023.

In 2019, passenger traffic totaled 750 thousand people, with traffic expecting to double by 2025.

Accidents

On 16 July 2021, on SiLA Airlines Flight 42, a failure of both engines of the turboprop plane An-28 occurred while en route from Kedrovy to Tomsk. At an emergency landing in a swamp, the plane was severely damaged — but all the passengers and crew members survived with minimal injures.
