Brief History
The history of Koltsovo Airport goes back to 24 June 1943, when Koltsovo military airdrome was converted into Sverdlovsk Airport under the Red Army Air Force Head’s order.
On 1 January 1963, the Airport, Civil Flight Unit 120 and several other services were united into the Sverdlovsk Joint Air Unit of the Ural Civil Aviation Authority. Later, in 1991, it was reorganized into the First Sverdlovsk Air Enterprise.
On 28 December 1993, the First Sverdlovsk Air Enterprise was privatized, and two joint-stock companies established:
- Koltsovo Airport Public Stock Company;
- Ural Airlines Public Joint-Stock Company.
Since 1993 Koltsovo is an international airport.
Koltsovo Airport Company is a member of the Airports Council International (ACI), as well as of the Aeroport GA Association, an organization of Russian and CIS airports.
