Yes, you can smoke at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Yelizovo Airport (PKC) outdoors, in front of the terminal away from the entrances, before security. The new 2025 terminal lists no indoor smoking room, so plan to smoke landside before check-in.
Да, в аэропорту Петропавловск-Камчатский (Елизово, PKC) курить можно на улице — перед терминалом, в стороне от входов, до досмотра. В новом терминале 2025 года курительная комната не указана, поэтому планируйте курить до регистрации.
Outside Terminals: Smoking is permitted outside, away from the entrances.
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Yelizovo Airport Smoking Areas
Yelizovo Airport serves Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Kamchatka and is open and operating normally. A large new terminal — designed in the shape of a volcanic caldera, with panoramic windows facing the volcanoes — opened in March 2025 and now handles the airport’s domestic flights; an international section is built into it but had not yet started operating as of 2025.
The airport lists no indoor smoking room in the new terminal, and travellers describe stepping outdoors to smoke rather than using an airside cabin, so smoke outside, in front of the terminal, before you check in and clear security.
If you need to smoke after security, ask staff on the day; the airport lists no indoor airside option. Vaping and heated-tobacco devices follow the same rules as cigarettes and are not allowed inside the terminal.
