UWPS Saransk

Saransk Airport (UWPS) In January 2017, the airport was closed for reconstruction until the end of the year due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup matches in Saransk. The runway will be reinforced with asphalt concrete. A new passenger terminal with an area of almost 7 thousand m2 and a capacity of up to 300 people per hour (600 people per hour during matches) was built. After the reconstruction was completed, the airport began to receive such aircraft as Boeing 737-800 and Airbus A320. On February 14, 2018, the airport received its first scheduled flight after the reconstruction.
