About Valek Airport
Valek Airport (‹See Tfd›Russian: Аэропорт "Валёк") (ICAO: UOOW) is a small airport in Krasnoyarsk krai, Russia located 9 km northeast of Norilsk along the Valkovskoye highway (‹See Tfd›Russian: Вальковское шоссе). The Norilsk river's western bank is where the runway is located. The nearby Valk river, a tributary of the Norilsk river, inspired the airport's name.
