Main Zyryanka airport?[edit]

There is no article about the main Zyryanka airport referred to. The Dutch Wikipedia article says that this is the main Zyryanka airport, not a reliever, and no other airport near Zyryanka is visible in Google satellite imagery. David (talk) 21:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be confirmed by the article on Yakutia Airlines. Other web sources mention landings on the frozen river, maybe this is considered "Zyryanka Central" ? Jan olieslagers (talk) 10:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then again, http://promzona.org/utils/airfields.html?dir=asc&page=all&sort= does mention two separate aerodromes, and the ICAO code EUSU not assigned to Zyryanka-West, confirming this to be minor.Jan olieslagers (talk) 17:46, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But look at the satellite image http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=65.736667,150.705&spn=0.03,0.03&t=h&q=65.736667,150.705 for the west airport, and for http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=65.736667,150.705&spn=0.03,0.03&t=h&q=65.736667,150.883 for the "main" airport.

A look at Bing Maps settles this point: there is a runway on the river's western bank, just north of the city centre; indeed several planes can be seen parked. This must then obviously be "Zyryanka Central" UESU (and not EUSE as I wrote higher up). I tried to post a link to the relevant place in Bing Maps but couldn't get it to work, sorry.Jan olieslagers (talk) 13:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is an airport Zyryanka on the river's western bank. It is in use. And there is an aerodrome "9 km" / "Zyryanka West", which is located to the west of Zyryanka settlement and was formerly used as reserve aerodrome for Zyryanka airport (runway of Zyryanka airport often is sinked under water). Now aerodrome "9 km" is abandoned. Dinamik (talk) 19:38, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
