Armavir is a military airfield in Krasnodar Territory, located on the southern outskirts of the city Armavir. The 713th Training Aviation Regiment is based at the aerodrome, which is part of the 783rd Training Center. [1] The regiment instructors provide training for fighter aircraft on the Yak-130 L-39 and MiG-29 aircraft.

The possibility is being discussed of creating an Armavir airport by reconstructing the military aerodrome and bringing it into compliance with the standards of civil aviation aerodromes. [2]
