Expansion of Karakol Airport Runway to Utilize 38 Hectares of Land
In a recent development, at least 38 hectares of land will be allocated for the expansion of Karakol airport runway. This decision was made by Adylbek Kasymaliev, who signed the corresponding resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The expansion will involve transferring 38.3 hectares of agricultural land to the category of industrial and transport territories to accommodate the growth of Karakol International Airport.
The expansion will affect land plots in Altyn-Arashan village, Ak-Suu district. In response to this development, local authorities have been mandated to make changes to land registration documents, ensure the land is used strictly for its intended purpose, develop urban planning documents in compliance with construction norms, monitor possible natural risks, organize the protection of historical and cultural heritage, and involve archaeologists in construction.
It is also emphasized that in case of improper use, the land should be returned to its original state.
The Karakol airport ceased operations in 2018, and underwent a large-scale reconstruction that began in 2022. Following the reconstruction, the airport was reopened on December 11, 2024, marking a significant milestone in the region’s aviation infrastructure.
