Novosibirsk Airport

Tolmachevo International Airport (IATA: OVB) in Novosibirsk is the largest airport in Siberia. Thanks to the city's geographical location and the airport's importance to the region, it is considered one of the major air traffic hubs in eastern Russia.

Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport is operated by a joint-stock company in which the Russian state holds a 51% stake. This allows the Russian state to maintain influence over infrastructure facilities.
