Velikiye Luki Airport ( Russian: Аэропорт Великие Луки) ( IATA: VLU, ICAO: ULOL) is a suspended airport in Russia located 7 km (4.3 mi) northeast of Velikiye Luki.
From the mid-1920s until 1936 it was used as a stopover airport by the Soviet-German airline Deruluft en route between Berlin and Moscow. [1]
Until the mid-1990s it was used to accommodate small civilian airliners servicing regional scheduled flights.
In 2020 a discussion on resuming flights took place with the governor of Pskov oblast. [2]
