Pobedilovo Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Победилово) (IATA: KVX, ICAO: USKK) is an airport in Russia located 22 km southwest of Kirov. It serves regional flights in Russia. It has the status of an airport of federal significance.

The airfield in Pobedilovo was established in 1941 and was used as a military reserve. In 1964, this site was deemed suitable for the construction of a new civilian airport. In 1969, the existing Pobedilovo airport was built, and the old airfield on Fileika was abandoned. The last aircraft to land on it in 1981 was the An-8 transport aircraft, which became a monument to Fillet and was later converted into the Eaglet children's cinema. Today, part of the former airfield is built up with cottages, part is overgrown with bushes. The airport got its name from the village, near the territory of which it is located. However, initially this name was not fixed and was mentioned only by the people, the official name was "Kirov Airport". It was not until 2012 that the airport received its current name. 

Against the background of the collapse of the USSR, the state of local aviation deteriorated significantly, as a result of a significant increase in prices, the Kirov Airline was on the verge of survival and was forced to triple ticket prices. This caused the termination of flights on local passenger airlines in 1992, and intercity flights were also under threat. In 1996, Kirov Airlines operated flights all the way to Berlin. In 2001, there were no passenger flights from Kirov, again due to the too high cost of fuel. In the mid-2000s, regular flights to Moscow and St. Petersburg, Anapa, Sochi and Simferopol resumed.

In 2006, the reconstruction of the runway to Class B began. In 2013, all work on the reconstruction of the runway was completed. After the technical flight in 2014, the strip was put into operation. On the eve of the 650th anniversary of the city, a large-scale reconstruction of the airport was completed in 2024. The premises and the facade of the building were renovated, and the number of parking spaces was increased. An expanded business lounge and a high-comfort lounge have been added. The recreation area was also renovated, another security checkpoint, a mother and child room, toilets, and a cafe were opened. The second floor of the airport was opened, which had been mothballed for a long time. By 2035, the geography of flights is expected to expand: to Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Petrozavodsk, Tyumen, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Ufa, Omsk, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg. The construction of a second terminal is planned[10].
