Khanskaya (air base)

Khanskaya is a Russian Aerospace Forces air base located on the north-west of Maykop, Russia in the Adygea Republic. The airport was used also for civil aviation up to 2009.

The base is home to the 761st Training Aviation Regiment which flies the Aero L-39C Albatros under the 783rd Aviation Training Centre for the Training of Flight Personnel.

The regiment moved here during 1991.

In 2010, the authorities of Adygea proposed the reconstruction of the airfield using funds from the Russian federal budget.

Khanskaya air base was reportedly home to the 272nd Training Aviation Regiment.

On 10 October 2024, a Ukrainian drone attack targeted the Khanskaya airbase causing a fire detected by NASA's FIRMS.
