JSC "Lenaeroproject" made investigations and prepared a positive opinion on the technical possibility of constructing a cargo airport on the grounds of the Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex. The airport will be able to accommodate all types of cargo aircraft. Regulative bodies of the Leningrad region gave their approval to locate the cargo airport.[2]
Russo-Ukrainian War
On 21 January 2024 the Security Service of Ukraine conducted an overnight drone attack on the gas terminal, causing a large fire, which took over a day to extinguish.[3] Gas producer Novatek subsequently suspended all operations at the complex in response to the attack.[4][5][6]
On 24 August 2025 Ukrainian drones again attacked and caused fire at the Novatek gas terminal. Social media videos showed damage to a fractionating column of the facility.[7]
