Tsentralny Airport is an aging Soviet-era facility located unusually close to downtown Omsk, which has long constrained expansion plans. It has a single modest passenger terminal handling domestic and limited international traffic, and has been slated for replacement by a new airport (Omsk-Fedorovka) for years, though construction has stalled repeatedly.
