Kolpashevo Airport, part of Kolpashevo Air Enterprise in Western Siberia has closed.
The airport was established in 1975 and handled much of the passenger air traffic relating to the development of the oil industry in the Tomsk region, connecting Kolpashevo with Tomsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk and Strezhev.
Kolpashevo now has only three Mi-8s and it is still unclear whether flights will be resumed from Kolpashevo, as the helicopters offer the only means of transport over the frozen River Ob during the winter.
