Post by Stratofreighter »

...but Rogachevo is certainly not near the "Russian mainland". So where is "Amderma-2 Airport" actually located :?:

Rogachevo Airport is located on an island just north of Amderma on Russia's main land and is better known in Russia as Amderma-2 Airport,

Nordavia uses only the name of Amderma-2 and has scheduled flights to both Amderma (5N-139) and Amderma-2 (5N-137).

The airport features a runway 16/34 of 2500 meters and is operated by the Russian Air Force.
