President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov participated in a capsule-laying ceremony marking the start of construction for the new Jalal-Abad International Airport in Suzak district, the presidential press service. reported.
The airport located in Kyrgyzstan’s third largest city will cover over 380 hectares, with a two-story passenger terminal covering 10,000 square meters and a capacity to serve more than 350 passengers per hour.
President Japarov highlighted the growing demand for both domestic and international flights, underlining a sharp increase in passenger traffic nationwide. He added the rising demand for domestic and international flights, particularly a sharp increase in passenger traffic, needed to expand airport infrastructure nationwide.
"The republic has carried out great reforms in the field of aviation, aimed at improving safety, upgrading infrastructure, strengthening human resources and compliance with international standards. The start of construction of Jalal-Abad airport is a vivid example of these achievements," the president stated.
The airfield infrastructure will meet international standards: a runway of 3,800 meters, two taxiways and six aircraft stands will allow the airport to accommodate both passenger and cargo planes.
The new airport will be categorized as class 4E, enabling it to accommodate large aircraft such as Boeing 737, Airbus A320, and A321.
«Since 2021, passenger traffic in Kyrgyzstan has increased by 46 percent, and the number of flights has grown by 31 percent. New aircraft have been acquired, and previously idle regional airports have resumed operations,» the president said.
The existing Jalal-Abad airport was originally opened as an airfield in 1938, with the addition of a terminal building and asphalt runway in 1972. While it is expected to serve over 80,000 passengers this year, the existing infrastructure can no longer keep up with the growing passenger demand.
