Yakutsk Airport (Yakut: Дьокуускай Аэропорт, Russian: Аэропо́рт Яку́тск) (IATA: YKS, ICAO: UEEE) is an airport in Yakutsk, Russia. It has one runway ( an older runway serves as a parking area for disused aircraft) and has a capacity of 700 passengers per hour.

The airport is the hub for five regional airlines, including Yakutia Airlines and Sakha Avia.

Construction of the airport started in 1931 and was used as a stopover on the ALSIB Alaska-Siberia air route for American planes flying to Europe during World War II. The present international terminal was built in 1996. The airport serves as a diversion airport on Polar route 4.[3][4]

Yakutsk has another, smaller airport at Magan.
