'''Pulkovo Airport''' ({{lang-rus|links=no|Аэропорт Пулково|p=ˈpuɫkəvə}}, [[Location identifier#Russian location identifier|Internal code]]: '''ПЛК''') {{Airport codes|LED|ULLI}} is an [[international airport]] serving [[St. Petersburg]], Russia. It is the [[List of the busiest airports in Russia|2nd-busiest airport in Russia]] and [[List of the busiest airports in the former Soviet Union|post-Soviet states]] as well as [[List of the busiest airports in Europe|29th-busiest airport in Europe]]. It consists of one terminal which is located {{convert|23|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of the city centre.<ref name="about">{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/|title=About the Airport|access-date=3 June 2015}}</ref> The airport serves as a [[airline hub|hub]] for [[Aeroflot]] and [[Rossiya Airlines]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovo.ru/en/about/aboutus/stcrussia/|title=About Us – STC Russia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090629044956/http://www.pulkovo.ru/en/about/aboutus/stcrussia/ |archive-date=2009-06-29|website=Rossiya Airlines|access-date=January 2, 2009}}</ref> and as [[focus city]] for [[Smartavia]].

==Description==
Pulkovo Airport was officially opened on June 24, 1932, as a state-owned [[domestic airport]]. According to provisional figures for 2017, 16,125,520 passengers passed through the airport, a 21.6% increase over 2016. This makes Pulkovo the [[List of the busiest airports in Russia|4th busiest]] airport in Russia and the [[post-Soviet states]].<ref name="about"/> Pulkovo is one of the largest airports in Russia and [[Eastern Europe]].

==History==
=== 1931–1986 ===
In January 1931, construction of an aerodrome near [[Leningrad]] (Saint Petersburg's official name between 1924 and 1991 and the source of the airfield's [[IATA]] code of "LED"<ref name="about" />) commenced and was completed on 24 June 1932, with the first aircraft arriving at 17:31 that day, after a two-and-a-half hour flight from [[Moscow]] carrying passengers and mail.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/#years-30|title=History of Pulkovo Airport|access-date=3 June 2015}}</ref> This aerodrome was at first named '''Shosseynaya Airport''', the name coming from the nearby [[Shosseynaya railway station]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/#years-80|title = Pulkovo Airport – About – History|date = 2013|access-date = October 3, 2014}}</ref> Soon after, the airport opened regular flights to [[Petrozavodsk]], [[Pudozh]], [[Arkhangelsk]], and [[Murmansk]].

In 1936, a foundation for a new terminal was laid out. Leningrad's airport was also provided with new [[Tupolev ANT-6|G-2]]s and [[Lisunov Li-2|PS-84]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://old.pulkovoairport.ru/eng/about_pulkovo/history/|title = Pulkovo – About – History – 1930s|date = 2010|access-date = October 3, 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141006125621/http://old.pulkovoairport.ru/eng/about_pulkovo/history/|archive-date = October 6, 2014|url-status = dead|df = mdy-all}}</ref> In 1941, a new completely commercial passenger route between Moscow and Leningrad was opened; before it was a mixed passenger-mail route. Construction of the new terminal thrived between 1937 and 1941. The architects of the new three-story terminal were Aleksandr Ivanovich Gegello and N.E. Lansere.

Construction was abruptly put on hold in July 1941, one month after [[Nazi Germany]]'s invasion of the USSR on 22 June 1941. The airport was the front line in the German [[Siege of Leningrad]]. There were no flights between 1941 and 1944. The nearby [[Pulkovo Heights|Pulkovo hills]] were occupied by the Germans and were used by German long-range artillery for daily [[bombardments]] of Leningrad. The airport was cleared of the Germans in January 1944, and cargo and mail flights were resumed after the runways were repaired in 1945. In February 1948, after the damage was completely repaired, the airport resumed scheduled passenger flights. In 1949, there were scheduled flights to 15 major cities of the USSR, and 15 more short-range flights within north-western Russia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/#years-40|title=History of Pulkovo Airport|access-date=3 June 2015}}</ref> In 1949, Shosseynaya Airport recorded a passenger traffic rate of 6,305,333 tons of mail, and 708 tons of cargo.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/#years-80|title = Pulkovo – About – History – 40s|date = 2013|access-date = October 3, 2014}}</ref>

In 1951, the construction of the new terminal was complete. In the mid-1950s the new extended runway was completed, allowing the airport to handle larger aircraft such as [[Ilyushin Il-18|Ilyushin-18]] and [[Tupolev Tu-104|Tupolev-104]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/#years-50|title=History of Pulkovo Airport|access-date=3 June 2015}}</ref> In that same time period, the use of jet engine planes began in Shosseynaya Airport. On 15 March 1959, the USSR-42419 Tu-104 was the first commercial jet airplane to take off from the Shosseynaya Airport.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}}

In the early 1960s, modern regional airplanes such as the [[Antonov An-24|An-24]] and [[Yakovlev Yak-40|Yak-40]] began to appear in the airport. Flights to [[Vladivostok]] began to emerge in the flight lists. [[ICAO]] category 1 standards were implemented in 1965, making way for international operations. By the late 1960s, over 60 airlines had flights to and from Leningrad airport. On 8 February 1971, Shosseynaya was awarded the [[Order of the October Revolution]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://old.pulkovoairport.ru/eng/about_pulkovo/history/|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141006125621/http://old.pulkovoairport.ru/eng/about_pulkovo/history/|url-status = dead|archive-date = 2014-10-06|title = Pulkovo – About – History – 1970s|date = 2010|access-date = October 3, 2014}}</ref> The airport was renamed '''Pulkovo Airport''' on 24 April 1973. In May 1973, the new Pulkovo 1 terminal was opened. The famous 5-cup Pulkovo 1 was designed by Alexandr Zyk. The 5 cups on top were put intentionally to give the terminal a more spacious feeling and allow more natural sunlight to pass through. This terminal is regarded as a masterpiece of [https://web.archive.org/web/20141006100849/http://ojs.gc.cuny.edu/index.php/situations/article/view/1307 Soviet postmodern architecture].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/|title = Pulkovo – About – History – 1970s|date = 2013|access-date = October 3, 2014}}</ref> Pulkovo 1 was a domestic-only terminal. Domestic air traffic increased by approximately 45% every decade between the 1970-1990s. The old pre-war building of the airport was renamed Pulkovo 2 and the terminal was exploited for international flights only.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/history/#years-70|title=History of Pulkovo Airport|access-date=3 June 2015}}</ref>

On 11 April 1986, the new departure and arrival zones for the international terminal were completed, doubling the passenger traffic rate capacity of Pulkovo 1.

=== 1986–2007 ===
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2017}}
In 1990, Pulkovo Airport reached its passenger traffic rate peak of over 10,000,000 passengers. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the number of passengers declined. In 2005, Pulkovo Airport gained independence as it separated from the Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise. Also in 2005, Rosavia declares that Pulkovo Airport (still state-owned) is to have an open tender on an investment project of the new terminal construction. This allowed it to sell shares and begin working on investment bidding projects. In 2006, Pulkovo Airport served just over 5,000,000 passengers: only 50% of the number from 1990.

=== 2007–present ===
{{Unreferenced section|date=September 2017}}
In 2007, [[Grimshaw Architects]] was announced as the winner of the construction contract. In 2009, the Saint Petersburg Transportation Ministry requested that an operating company for Pulkovo Airport be created, and a consortium known as NCG (Northern Capital Gateway) was set up by Russian VTB Capital Bank, international Fraport AG Company, and the Greek Copelouzos Group. On 29 April 2010, NCG won the tender for a 30-year operating lease over Pulkovo Airport. On 24 November 2010, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin attended a ceremony celebrating the beginning of construction on the new 150,000 m<sup>2</sup> ''Terminal 1. ''

From 2020, the number of destinations is expected to increase rapidly, with up to 75% increase in passenger numbers forecast. This follows a five-year test agreement permitting non-Russian airlines to operate flights from multiple European destinations into the airport under an OpenSkies/Seventh-freedom traffic right<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rusaviainsider.com/st-petersburg-airport-trial-open-skies-project/|title=St Petersburg airport to trial open-skies project|date=2019-09-18|website=Russian Aviation Insider|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-19}}</ref> The test follows an easing of visa requirements for many European nationals wishing to visit the St Petersburg region designed to increase tourism to the city through the airport.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurasiatimes.org/en/14/10/2019/the-prospect-of-open-skies-in-st-petersburg-sparks-excitement-around-europe/|title=The prospect of open skies in St Petersburg sparks excitement around Europe|website=Eurasia Times|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-19}}</ref>

On 31 January 2024, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil refinery near St. Petersburg. The Ukrainian drones and Russian air defence missiles fired to stop the attack led to all flights from the Pulkovo airport being suspended between 3:53&nbsp;a.m. and 5:11&nbsp;a.m.<ref>{{cite news |date=31 January 2024 |title= Kyiv Confirms Drone Attack on St. Petersburg Oil Refinery, Claims UAV Dodged Russia's Best Air Defense |url= https://www.kyivpost.com/post/27400 |publisher=The Kyiv Post |author= Kateryna Zakharchenko }}</ref>

=== Pulkovo 1 ===
This historic terminal, opened in 1973, is {{convert|43000|m2|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":0" /> It was built for 6,500,000 passengers annually, but by 2008 it surpassed its maximum capacity.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/performance/|title = Pulkovo – Airport Indicators|date = 2013|access-date = October 4, 2014}}</ref> Since its reconstruction was completed in 2014, this terminal is now used for all passenger flights, domestic and international. It has several [[duty-free shop]]s, restaurants, and six [[jet bridge]]s. It was reported that when the reconstruction of Pulkovo 1 is completed, Pulkovo Airport's capacity would increase to 17,000,000 passengers annually.

=== Terminal 1 ===
Construction of Terminal 1 was delayed several times but finally began in 2010.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}} In November 2013, the airport was tested for errors by over 5,200 residents of Saint Petersburg who partook in the process. Several days after the test, the new Terminal 1 opened on December 3, 2013. On February 14, 2014, all operations were consolidated into the new terminal as the old Pulkovo 1 and Pulkovo 2 terminals have been shut down.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.pulkovoairport.ru/en/about/news/2014/2159/|title=Information report on final moving of international flights from Pulkovo-2 to the new Terminal-1 of Pulkovo Airport|access-date=3 June 2015}}</ref> The new terminal contains several business lounges, restaurants, pharmacies. Terminal 1 is {{Convert|147000|m2||abbr=on}} and has {{Convert|400000|m2||-4|abbr=on}} airport dock in front of it. The airport has 88 check-in counters, 110 passport booths, 7 [[baggage carousel]]s, 110 parking stands, 17 gates, and 17 escalators. The interior of the new airport was designed by [[Grimshaw Architects]] and directly correlates with the designs and style of Saint Petersburg city. The new Terminal also sought many artistic sculptures and paintings to give http://line-stargadget.ru/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220809202058/https://line-stargadget.ru/ |date=2022-08-09 }} a sense of thriving culture to passengers.
