## Operations history & current status (verify before travel)

– 2017: Scheduled flights were launched/relaunched (e.g., to Moscow Vnukovo starting 6 March 2017; Saint Petersburg from 6 May 2017). As of December 2017, service details changed, and subsequent sources indicate those regular routes ceased.
– Recent indications: A major Russian ticketing aggregator notes “only charter flights” at Stary Oskol (statement displayed on its airport page). As schedules can change, confirm directly with the operator before planning.

Why this matters: Regional airports in central/southern Russia have experienced frequent schedule shifts in recent years. Treat third-party timetables as provisional and check the airport operator’s contact line or site for the latest.

## Practical notes for travelers

– Ticketing & schedules: If you’re seeing limited or no results in international booking engines, that’s consistent with the airport’s current profile. Use the UUOS ICAO code for aviation databases and call the local operator for charter or seasonal movements.
– Accessibility: Publicly available sources do not provide detailed accessibility features (e.g., step-free access, accessible restrooms). If accessibility is critical, contact the airport reception in advance to confirm support on the day of travel.
– Ground truthing: Russian mapping services list the site at Lyotnaya ul., 1 with user photos and reviews; use satellite and street maps for up-to-date visuals of terminal access and parking before you go.

—

## Data freshness & accuracy notes

– Outdated vs. current: Infrastructure specs (runway/stands/throughput) are stable and documented. Flight operations fluctuate (scheduled vs. charter). Before booking, confirm directly with the airport using the contact in the “Location” section.
– Elevation discrepancies: Different open sources list varying elevations; because figures conflict, this guide omits a number to avoid propagating an error. Use official NOTAMs or operator charts if elevation is operationally relevant.
