Ekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport (SVX/USSS)

Due to its geographical position, Ekaterinburg has developed into an important transportation centre and today, it is the third largest transportation hub in Russia after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Its geographical location and its role as a junction of the Trans-Siberian Railway is especially beneficial for the support of trade between South-East Asia and Europe by providing access to Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China and, in the future, with the Korean peninsula and Japan. The establishment of a reliable transport system is essential for the dynamic Ural industry to participate actively in world markets.
