Dikson Airport is a small commercial airport in Russia located 5km (03miles) west of the urban-type settlement of Dikson on a small island. The airport is owned by KrasAvia.[1] It primarily services small transport aircraft. Central Intelligence Agency reports from 1952 released under the Freedom of Information Act indicate that the USSR was using Dikson as a staging airfield for Tupolev Tu-4 (NATO reporting name: Bull) aircraft.
