Suntar Airport is an airport, and possible former air base, serving and located north of Suntar, Suntarsky District, in the Sakha Republic of Russia. It is a fairly extensive airfield. The large long tarmac area suggests that it was used for deployments of attack or bomber aircraft into the Arctic regions.
There is also a Suntar Khayata mountain range on the Kolyma Highway.
