Operations
[edit]Formerly known as Tamchy Airport, Issyk-Kul International Airport started its operations in 1975 as a reserve airport for the nearby Cholpon-Ata Airport. The current runway and terminal were built in 2003. In the same year, the Kyrgyz Government renamed Tamchy Airport to Issyk-Kul International Airport. It is a class 4D airport with CAT I instrument landing facilities and lighting on both the runway and stands for night operation.
Issyk-Kul International Airport has customs and border control checks and serves both domestic and international flights. There are plans to extend the runway by a further 500 m.
Renovated in 2016, the airport was equipped with new, state-of-the-art lighting equipment, an instrument landing system (ILS), and meteorological equipment. The power supply system was modernized, the terminal building was reconstructed, and the runway was extended.[3] It was approved for 24-hour operation on August 29, 2016.[4]
