Administrative center of Bryansk region, cityBryansk, is located in the west of the country, near the border of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. The city was founded in 985 AD. e., and for all the time of its existence has grown to quite decent for regional significance. The city was captured several times by ill-wishers. For some time he spent under the yoke of the Tatar-Mongol yoke, was a member of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for quite a long time the city was the subject of a dispute between the Rzeczpospolita and the Russian kingdom. During the Great Patriotic War, the city was captured by the Germans and liberated by Soviet troops almost two years later. In the postwar years, several nearby villages and villages were included in the city. And in 1961, a civilian Bryansk airport was opened on the basis of a Soviet military airfield.
In 1926, on an elevation near the village of Gorodishche,a completely ordinary and unremarkable village before that date, the construction of the runway of the airfield began. This place was chosen not accidentally. If you look at the topographic map of the area, you can see that here is the highest point of the surface of the plateau, in the area of which it would be possible to erect a civilian object in the future. Already in those years, the authorities were thinking about the possible modernization of the projected runway into the civilian Bryansk airport. Bryansky was baptized for his administrative affiliation to a large populated area nearby, despite the fact that the village of Gorodishche was territorially located much closer. 200 meters to the village (almost across the road) against 5 kilometers (at that time) to the city of Bryansk. However, the plans of the country's leaders were intended to give this military (and in some years already a civilian) object views of the distant future. That is why his name was associated with belonging to the region of location.
Already in 1927 the Bryansk airfield of the NKO, as it was at that timetime was called, was put into operation. Noteworthy is the fact that from 1928 to 1929 as part of the 15th Bryansk aviation squadron served the famous Valery Chkalov, whose name is being worn by a number of regional airports on the territory of the Russian Federation, such as the airport "Chkalovsky" near the town of Schelkovo, Moscow Region.
In 1934 the Bryansk airport received the status ofcivil and began to take on refueling flights that follow the route "Moscow - Kiev" and back. In those days it was accepted as a strategic important decision, since the airfield served flights between the two republics, linking Moscow with the Ukrainian SSR. Thanks to this fact, a little more than half a year after the transfer of the airport to civilian rails, it gets regional status with a corresponding rise in the level of financing and development of the airport. In 1941, just before the announcement of Nazi Germany by the fascist Germany, the airport is modernizing the runway "A" and the taxiway from the runway to the terminal building.
After the capture of the city by the German invadersthe airport passed under the control of the fascists, but a year later, in 1943, the Red Army beat him back. Since 1945, the status of the airfield is changing again - the facility departs from the military.
After the Great Victory, the 204than air squad of the Moscow air group, and a little later, three squadrons of the 170th squadron are attributed to the base. In 1946, in the neighboring town of Bezhitsa (now - one of the districts of the city of Bryansk) a new civilian airport is being opened, which is still operated by small aircraft. It is based on several aeroclubs.
In 1961, on the basis of a military airfield in Gorodishchethe civilian Bryansk airport is reopened. Three years later, JSC "Bryansk United Aviation Detachment" began its work, and in December 1967 the first turbojet, the new-fashioned and modern Yak-40, landed on the runway. After the New Year holidays, from January 1968, the era of active exploitation of flying means of this type comes.
In 1974, the airport terminal itself, its ground services,including the reference Bryansk airport, which is engaged in providing information to the public on any matter related to the work of the airport and on flights, move to another building. The new complex was built on the opposite side of the runway and designed specifically for the administrative needs of the aviation company. The old buildings and buildings that were used up to this point were partially dismantled.
Until the 90s, the airport operates in the status ofregional. The assigned category allows servicing both turboprop and turbojet aircraft of that time, including Yak-42 and Tu-154.
In the 90s, the issue is especially acuteimplementation of safety of flights and reduction of noise pollution of Bryansk that had expanded by that time. The runway of the airport is located in the heart of the city. The adjoining districts, former villages and villages surround the Bryansk airport. The telephone of the city administration is torn from complaints of residents of nearby houses, and as a result, the city administration makes a difficult decision to move the airfield. In December 1994, the old airport is closed, and the enterprise is transferred 14 kilometers from the city limits to the west. In the same year 1994, they opened a new airfield near the village of Oktyabrskoe.
Bryansk International Airport acquires its ownThe new status is only a year after its opening. In July 1996, the first international flight (to Varna, Bulgaria), departing from the turboprop An-24, is sent from there. In 1997, new international destinations are opening for Istanbul (Turkey) and Burgas (Bulgaria), already on the Yak-40 and Tu-134 turbojet liners.
Development is in full swing.Each year, passengers are offered new flights. Bryansk airport is expanding its lines, including in Russia. In 2010, regular destinations are opened to Moscow, from 2013 to St. Petersburg, and in 2015 to Simferopol and Krasnodar.
