Historical Help

Mendeleevo is the only airport on the island of Kunashir. It is located 15.5 km south-west of PGT South Kurilsk. This air harbor received its name for the name of the village of Mendeleevo, next to South Kurilsk.

The construction of the airfield was carried out by the Japanese in those days when Kunashir Island was part of the Japanese Hokkaido Prefecture. Since those times, the air harbor is practically not rebuilt.

In 2006, the airport was closed due to the complete destruction of WFP and infrastructures. During the reconstruction, the landing strip increased to 2050 m in length and up to 38 m wide.

In 2007, flights resumed. A new asphalt concrete coating makes it possible to take aircraft of the 3rd and 4th types and helicopters of all classes.

In 2012, modern lighting equipment was designed at the airfield, after which the harbor received permission to take off and landing aircraft at night.

In 2016, from Mendeleevo Airport, the first flight for Kunashir was performed.

In 2017, the South Kuril Airport took the first international flight in the history of air harbor, who arrived from Japan.
