A new airport in the Jalal-Abad Region is set to open in autumn 2027

The new airport in the Jalal-Abad region is scheduled to open in autumn 2027. Its main focus will be on cargo transport, and the development of the project is linked to the construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway.

According to the head of OJSC ‘Airports of Kyrgyzstan’, the runway will be 3,600 metres long, whilst the terminal will cover approximately 12,000 square metres. The airport will be able to accommodate Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft, including cargo versions.

The project is provisionally estimated to cost $50–60 million, although construction is expected to be completed for approximately $40 million

Initially, the airport will launch regional flights and air links to ‘Manas’. Later, there are plans to attract foreign airlines operating flights to Osh and Jalal-Abad.

The old airport will be transferred to state ownership, and its future will be determined by the government.
