Mineralnye Vody Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Минеральные Воды) (IATA: MRV, ICAO: URMM) (also written as Mineralnyye Vody Airport, which "Mineralnye Vody" literally translates to Mineral Waters) is an airport in Stavropol Krai, Russia, located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) west of Mineralnye Vody. It features a civilian terminal area on its west side with 41 parking spots. The airfield houses a Tupolev Tu-154 maintenance facility on the east side.

History

On 22 June 2014, Transaero Airlines began operating the Boeing 747-400 from Moscow. The airline operated the aircraft into the airport during the peak holiday seasons on Sundays, with the aircraft carrying a maximum of 522 passengers. To that date, the 747-400 is the largest aircraft to have operated into the airport.[2]

In July 2016, Novaport bought the Mineralnye Vody Airport from Aeroinvest.[3]

Mineralnye Vody has experienced rapid growth in recent years. It reached almost 5 million passengers in 2024, making it the 93rd busiest airport in Europe and the 9th busiest in Russia. On May 14, 2025, a new terminal with five airbridges was opened. It is intended solely for domestic flights, while the older terminal has since been dedicated exclusively to international operations.
