Ulyanovsk Vostochny (Russian: Ульяновск Восточный)(sometimes referred to as Ul'yanovsk or Ulyanovsk Northeast) (IATA: ULY, ICAO: UWLW) is an airport in Russia located 28 km northeast of Ulyanovsk. This runway is the second longest public use runway in the world, after Qamdo Bangda Airport, with a length of 16,405 feet. It is also the widest, with a total width of about 344 feet.
The terminal building appears old and run-down, almost like an abandoned warehouse. Bags are delivered from flights, although it takes many minutes for it to be made available, and one must show their baggage tags to take receipt of their bags.
