Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Yelizovo Airport is an airport located in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky , Kamchatka Krai , Russia . Its runway is 3400 meters long, enough to accommodate fully loaded Boeing 747 s. The main apron contains 24 parking spaces, 8 of which can service a Boeing 747; additional 8 paved spaces for smaller aircraft and 12 unpaved parking spaces. The main military operating unit is the 865 IAP (865th Interceptor Aviation Regiment), which operates MiG-31 interceptor aircraft. Naval operations have also taken place here, most notably with the 317 OSAP (317th Separate Composite Aviation Regiment) operating Tupolev Tu-16R aircraft as late as 1992, and Beriev Be-12 and Tupolev Tu-95MS aircraft with unidentified units1. Recent Google Earth high-resolution imagery revealed that the base continues to serve as an important military focal point, with 29 MiG-31 aircraft dispersed throughout the airfield and a large number of prop transports and helicopters.
