Orsha Airport (previously named Balbasovo Airbase, given as Balbasava, Bolbasovo, Orsha Southwest, and Orsha) is a commercial airport in Belarus, located 11 km southwest of Orsha. It has a long runway, large tarmac area, a terminal building, 3 commercial remote stands, and 30 large revetments. A remote revetment area contains 5 bomber pads and probably 5 fighter pads.
The airport is also home to the Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant (OARP).[1]
It was home to the 402nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment (402 TBAP) flying Tupolev Tu-22M3 (ASCC: Backfire) aircraft as recently as 1993.[2][3] The 402 TBAP's division headquarters was 326 TBAD at Soltsy-2.
Its IATA code TXC was assigned in late 2021, in preparation of taking up commercial air transport operations.
