Novgorod Airport IATA code: NVR is currently not operational. It was a busy airport during USSR, but then, due to country's economical situation, had to cease its operations. It reopened in 1998 with a daily flight to Moscow's Sheremetyevo I on Yak-40 fleet. This charter flight also came to an end in late 1999. There were plans to open Krechevitsy as a civil airport for the 1150 Anniversary of the city, but the progress in not confirmed.

Several buses run daily from Saint Petersburg Bus Terminal to Novgorod, with a travel time of about 3.5 hours. Buses to Moscow run only during the summertime, but the trip is long and inconvenient.
