Minsk-1 Airport (Template:Comma separated entries) was[1] an airport located just a few kilometres south from the centre of Minsk in Belarus. It served as the main airport for Minsk from 1933 to 1982, when Minsk-2 Airport was commissioned. From 1982 until closure in 2015 it served as a secondary airport.
History
Minsk-1 was built in 1933[2] roughly five kilometres to the south of the historical centre.[3] It was the major airport of Minsk until the new airport Minsk-2, now named Minsk National Airport, opened in 1982.
After 1982, it mainly served domestic routes in Belarus and short-haul routes to Moscow, Kyiv and Kaliningrad. Minsk-1 was closed in December 2015 because of the noise pollution in the surrounding residential areas.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The land of the airport is currently being redeveloped for residential and commercial real estate, branded as Minsk-City, as well as the new Zelenaluzhskaya line of the Minsk Metro.[4]
In February 2006 a decision was made to transfer the Minsk aircraft repair plant situated on the Minsk-1 site out of the city line. In 2018 Aircraft Repair Plant Avia407 completed its move to the new Minsk National Airport.[5][6] 320 ha of freed land will be transferred to the city authorities for real estate development. Commercial flights were scheduled until 26 October 2012 when flights to Moscow-Vnukovo operated by UTair Aviation moved to the larger Minsk National Airport.[7][8]
The airport officially shut down on 23 December 2015.[1]
The airport terminal and the Tower building still exists today. The Tower building has been converted into a government office.
