Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Толмачёво) (IATA: OVB, ICAO: UNNT) is situated in the town of Ob, 16 km from center of Novosibirsk, an industrial and scientific center in Siberia, Russia's third largest city.
There are two (3,600 m (11,811 ft) and 3,605 m) active runways in Tolmachevo Airport, along with 2 passenger terminals for domestic and international flights, 1 cargo terminal and 61 aircraft stands. Runway 16 is equipped with an ILS CAT II, which enables aircraft operations in low ceiling (30 meters) and visibility (350 meters).[3]
The airport serves as a diversion airport on Polar route 1.[4][5]
Tolmachevo is the busiest airport in Siberia and the sixth busiest airport in Russia[6]. In 2010, the airport served 2,261,630 passengers (+25.3%).[7] In 2011 the rapid growth continued and the airport served 2,765,884 passengers (+22.3%)[8] and handled 17,277 aircraft movements (+21.1%).

[edit] History
Operations began on July 12, 1957 with the first passenger flight of Tupolev Tu-104 from Novosibirsk to Moscow. The airport was owned by United Tolmachevo Aviation Enterprise and Ministry of Civil Aviation of the USSR until 1992. The airport then became a joint stock company in 1995, with 51% owned by the state. The domestic terminal was completely renovated in 2006. Tolmachevo Airport is also the first Russian airport to receive ISO 9002-96 certificate.
[edit] Transport
The airport is located approximately 1 km away from the Tolmachevo railway station at the Trans-Siberian Railway - a stop for only Elektrichka local commuter trains but not for any long-distance trains. Public transportation to the city is provided by a number of bus routes, as well as by private and municipal taxis.
[edit] Further expansion
In December 2011 the airport announced plans for its further development including construction of a new rapid-exit taxiway and a new passenger terminal (17.450 sq.m) which will effectively merge the two existing terminals into a larger joint terminal and allow to double its passenger capacity by the end of 2013.
