Krechevitsy is a functioning civil airfield, formerly Russian Airforce base located 11 km northeast of Veliky Novgorod, Russia (near Krechevitsy). It contains 30 large revetments in a sprawling taxiway pattern, suitable for large transports. It was home to 110 VTAP (110th Military Transport Aviation Regiment), of the 61st Air Army, flying Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft. [1] [2] However, 110 VTAP was disbanded in 2009. [3]
A construction of a civil international airport based on the military facility was scheduled to be completed by summer 2009, to coincide with 1150th anniversary of Veliky Novgorod. The reconstruction of military airbase into a civil airport for scheduled flights has been postponed multiple times for many reasons, the last attempt was undertaken in 2019–2020, the airport is scheduled to open in 2024. [4]
Currently Krechevitsy is used by light aviation amateurs. [5] Basic ground facilities such as refuelling and traffic control are available. [6] In September 2019 Severstal airline company made a test flight to Krechevitsy with its CRJ-200 regional jet. [7]
