Suntar Airport (IATA: SUY, ICAO: UENS) is an airport, and possible former air base, serving and located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of Suntar, Suntarsky District, in the Sakha Republic of Russia. It is a fairly extensive airfield. The large 300 metres (980 ft) long tarmac area suggests that it was used for deployments of attack or bomber aircraft into the Arctic regions.
