Provideniya Bay Airport Smoking
Provideniya Bay Airport is a small, remote airport in Chukotka in Russia’s far northeast, operated under Chukotka Airports. It is active but very low-traffic, with infrequent An-24 flights to Anadyr and Mi-8 helicopter services to nearby villages. The terminal is a single modest building with a waiting hall, not a multi-gate terminal, and the surrounding area is a restricted border zone.
There is no documented indoor smoking room, and Russian law prohibits smoking inside airport buildings, so at a terminal this small the practical arrangement is to smoke outdoors near the entrance. We have not found PVS-specific smoking signage, so treat this as the general situation for a terminal of this size rather than a confirmed designated zone.
Vaping and heated-tobacco devices follow the same rules as cigarettes and should be used outdoors rather than inside.
