Zhovtneve Air Base at a glance

Zhovtneve Air Base is a medium airport in Bolgrad, Odessa Oblast, Ukraine. No official elevation is recorded for this entry, so treat published circuit heights with care and confirm locally. There is no scheduled airline service listed here — typical traffic is general aviation, training and local operations.

No runway records exist for this entry in the source dataset — common for fields whose operators never filed dimensions with the public dataset. The absence of a record says nothing about the runway on the ground: it may be paved, lighted and perfectly serviceable. Treat published charts, national AIP entries and the operator as the authoritative sources for runway data here, and this page as the identity and position reference for the field at Bolgrad. When the dataset gains a runway record for this field, the next site build picks it up automatically — the reference layer regenerates from source on every rebuild rather than being edited by hand.

For the weather side of planning, the live METAR and TAF page for UKOD shows the current observation decoded line by line — wind on an instrument dial, visibility, cloud layers and the resulting flight rules — refreshed continuously from official sources.

Where this data comes from

The reference layer behind this page builds on the OurAirports dataset — a public-domain, community-maintained register of the world's airports that many flight planners and apps rely on — with equity records preserved from documented historical listings where the dataset is silent. Figures are carried as published: elevations as surveyed, coordinates as filed, runway dimensions as recorded. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and the whole layer regenerates from source on every site build, so corrections upstream arrive here automatically.
