Sarov Airport (also called Mius Airfield; airport code XUDM/ЬУДМ) is an airport in Russia located in the town of Sarov, 4 km (2.5 mi) north of downtown, within the closed city area. It is a mixed use utilitarian airfield with an unusually wide runway for a small airfield of this type. The airport consists of Runway 01/19 (1920m, or 2500m including displaced thresholds) without taxiways, a small apron with an adjacent car park, and a small terminal/administration building located 200 meters away from the apron.

It was used for experimental aircraft as well as for commercial and government flights to Moscow's Bykovo Airport. Light aircraft such as An-24 were operated on this route. Service was reduced from daily to three times a week before the route was ceased in 2005. There are currently no scheduled commercial flights to Sarov, previously codenamed Arzamas-16, as the town is in a restricted area which the general public cannot enter due to nuclear research facilities within the town.
