Minsk-1 Airport (IATA: MHP, ICAO: UMMM) was^[1] a Belarusian airport located within the city limits of Minsk, just a few kilometres south from the centre.

History

Minsk-1 was built in 1933^[2] roughly five kilometres to the south of the historical centre.^[3] It was the major airport of Minsk until the new airport Minsk-2, now named Minsk National Airport, opened in 1982.

After 1982, it mainly served domestic routes in Belarus and short-haul routes to Moscow, Kyiv and Kaliningrad. Minsk-1 was closed in December 2015 because of the noise pollution in the surrounding residential areas.^{[citation needed]} The land of the airport is currently being redeveloped for residential and commercial real estate, branded as Minsk-City, as well as the new Zelenaluzhskaya line of the Minsk Metro.^[4]

In February 2006 a decision was made to transfer a Minsk aircraft repair plant situated on the Minsk-1 territory out of the city line. 320 ha of freed land will be transferred to the city authorities for real estate development. Commercial flights were scheduled until 26 October 2012 when flights to Moscow-Vnukovo operated by UTair Aviation moved to the larger Minsk National Airport.^[5]^[6]

The airport officially shut down on 23 December 2015.^[1]
