Yelizovo Airport ( _ru. Аэропорт Елизово) airport codes|PKC|UHPP is an airport located in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai, Russia. Its runway is 3400 meters long, enough to accommodate fully loaded Boeing 747s. The main apron contains 24 parking spaces, 8 of which can service a Boeing 747; additional 8 paved spaces for smaller aircraft and 12 unpaved parking spaces.

The main military operating unit is the 865 IAP (865th Interceptor Aviation Regiment), which operates MiG-31 interceptor aircraft. Naval operations have also taken place here, most notably with the 317 OSAP (317th Separate Composite Aviation Regiment) operating Tupolev Tu-16R aircraft as late as 1992, and Beriev Be-12 and Tupolev Tu-95MS aircraft with unidentified units [cite web| title = Aviatsiya VMF | publisher = Aviabaza KPOI. | url = http://airbase.ru/squad/russia/sea/ ] .
