Today, an important event took place for fans of flight simulators — the Kurumoch Airport located in Samara (ICAO code: UWWW) was ported to MSFS2024. This airport has now been completely renovated, adjusted and adapted.
We have done a lot of work to ensure that every element of the airport meets the real conditions. From the terminal buildings to the runways, everything has been reviewed and improved. Thanks to these changes, players will be able to enjoy an accurate reproduction of one of the largest aviation hubs in Russia.
However, to see all the airport facilities from any distance, do not forget to activate the special setting in the developer mode (Dev Mode). To do this, go to the Options menu, select Debug model LODs and check the box next to the Enable force active lod option. This setting will allow you to enjoy all the details of the airport regardless of your location in the game.
Kurumoch International Airport (IATA: KUF, ICAO: UWWW) is the airport of Samara. It is located near the village of Bereza, 35 kilometers north of Samara, 45 kilometers east of Tolyatti; thus, it actually serves two large cities, although de jure it is considered only Samara. The airport's name comes from the village of the same name, located 7 km southwest of it. It has the status of an airport of federal significance.
By the end of 2011, the airport was one of the ten largest airports in Russia in terms of passenger traffic. In 2015, the airport handled 2,208,127 passengers.
The airport is operated by JSC Kurumoch International Airport, part of the Airports of the Regions Holding, a subsidiary of the Renova Group of companies.
Before the bankruptcy of Samara Airlines in 2009, the airport was its base.
A distinctive feature of the airport is its considerable distance from the city - 35 km.
