VVO

VVO is the IATA airport code for Vladivostok International Airport, the primary international airport serving Vladivostok and the Russian Far East. The facility is located near the town of Artyom in Primorsky Krai, Russia, roughly 40 to 50 kilometers from Vladivostok. It is sometimes referred to by the older name Knevichi Airport.

Vladivostok International Airport functions as the region’s main aviation gateway, handling both domestic and international flights and serving as a hub for several Russian and regional carriers. It provides passenger and cargo services and supports routes to Moscow and other major Russian cities as well as international connections to select destinations in Asia.

The airport has a history dating from the mid-20th century and has undergone modernization efforts to accommodate rising passenger traffic and improved security and efficiency. Upgrades have focused on terminal facilities, passenger processing, and airside operations, reflecting efforts to maintain the airport’s role as a key transportation link for the Russian Far East.

As a regional transportation node, VVO plays a critical role in tourism, business, and freight for Primorsky Krai and surrounding areas. The IATA code VVO is widely used in timetables, tickets, and baggage handling to identify Vladivostok International Airport.
