St Petersburg Pulkovo LED Airport Overview

Pulkovo International Airport LED is one of the Russian Federation's most important airports and also serves as a transfer point for travelers between the East and the West.  It is busiest during the summer season when visitors flock to the spectacular sites of the historic city of St. Petersburg. Pulkovo, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013,  is managed by Northern Capital Gateway, an international consortium.

The Airport is located 10.6 miles (or 40-60 minutes by car), from downtown St. Petersburg, near the border of Finland. The Airport is accessible via access road Pulkovskoye Shosse (leading to central St. Petersburg), which connects to the KAD motorway to the north, and which continues to the south as Kiyevskoye Shosse, connecting to the M-11 motorway. The nearest metro station, the Moskovskaya, presently can only be reached by taxi or shuttle bus.

With two long runways and an estimated 11.2 million passengers in 2012, Pulkovo International Airport is served by a host of national and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

NOTICE:  Arrive at the Airport at least 2.5 hours prior to scheduled departure time.  You can considerably reduce waiting time by using either self-check-in counters in the departure area or check in online.

The present passenger terminal complex at Pulkovo International Airport consist of two terminals - P1 & P2.   The call center can be reached at +7 (812) 704-38-22  or 704-34-44.  (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)

Rental car counters for major rental cars are located in terminal  P1's Moscow hall, and in terminal P2's Arrivals hall.

To get from Pulkovo Airport to your destination you can rent a car, take a taxi, a minibus or a regular bus.

Future Airport Developments:  In 2010, priority was given to the reconstruction of the Airport, by modernizing the Pulkovo 1 terminal, by bringing the Airport up to the equivalent of IATA 'C' standards, and by adding a new international passenger terminal north of Terminal 1 with 18 gates and a capacity of 13 million pasengers a year. Groundbreaking started on the new terminal in Spring 2011, and official opening is scheduled for 2013/14.
Under consideration are the construction of Western High-Speed Diameter and above-ground express line & electric train railway.
