Kansk is an air base in Russia located 9 km south of Kansk. It is a fighter base with about 10 remote revetments.

Kansk was home to 712 IAP (712th Interceptor Aviation Regiment) flying MiG-17 aircraft during the 1970s, MiG-25, SU-15 aircraft during the 1980s and MiG-31 aircraft during the 1990s [cite web| title = Aviatsiya PVO | publisher = Aviabaza KPOI | url = http://airbase.ru/squad/russia/avpvo/ ] [cite book| title = Air Power Analysis: Russian Federation | last = Butowski | first = Pyotr | publisher = AIRtime Publishing, Inc | date = 2004 ] .

An old 2000m runway, with no taxiways, exists between the city and airfield. As of 2005, aircraft still operate from this air base.
