History
The Kurumkan Airport was constructed during the Soviet era, as an airport for seasonal beach tourism around Lake Baikal. In 1992 the airport was partially closed, and closed altogether in 2001 due to financial difficulties of the Bural airline. In 2013 the airport was re-opened, when PANH opened the new regular flight to Ulan-Ude.
