YKS is the airport code for Yakutsk Airport, serving Yakutsk, the capital of the vast Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, in the far northeast of Siberia in Russia. Yakutsk is famous as one of the coldest cities on earth, built on permafrost, where winter temperatures can plunge far below freezing, and it is a remote regional capital on the Lena river, reached across enormous distances. The city is a centre for the diamond and mining industries of the region and a gateway to the extraordinary landscapes of Yakutia, from the Lena Pillars to the extreme cold of places like Oymyakon. Travelers should check their government's current advice before considering travel to Russia. Yakutsk is reached by flights into its airport and, in the vast roadless region, largely by air and river. The climate is sharply continental, with brief warm summers and extreme, prolonged winters.
