Beneficial geographical location, the proximity of the river port with the exit to the Black Sea (The "sea to sea" type ships sail from the seaports of the Black sea coast up to the Nizhnekamsk port (Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan) which is situated on the Volga and Kama rivers, where the "sea to river" ships and barges transshipment is done. From the Nizhnekamsk port ships pass through the rivers Kama and Agidel up to the Ufa port. The assured depth of the Agidel river navigation cannel is 2 m. The period of navigation lasts from April to October), availability of major railways and highways is a good foundation for accomplishing the development plans of the Ufa International Airport. According to the ICAO international standards, the main task of the Ufa Airport is to provide guaranteed air transport security. Development in this field is constantly moving forward. The Ufa city is one of the largest transport hubs in the Russian Federation and has a developed transport infrastructure including airports, large railway junctions, highways, and river ports. The geographic location of the Ufa International Airport, regarding its well developed transportation network, provides a bright prospective of its conversion into the modern cargo/passenger hub and thus into the central airport in the air infrastructure of the Republic of Bashkortostan with the goal of directing major streams of passengers and cargo from Asia to Europe and back.
