Türkmenbaşy International Airport (Turkmen: Türkmenbaşy halkara howa menzili[4]) (IATA: KRW, ICAO: UTAK), formerly Krasnovodsk Airport,[5] is an international airport located in the city of Türkmenbaşy, Turkmenistan. It accepts both passenger and cargo flights. It opened in 1959 and is one of the five [6] international airports in Turkmenistan.
The airport was constructed in the 1950s and was an interceptor aircraft facility for the Soviet Air Force. It initially operated the Sukhoi Su-9 (Fishpot) in the 1960s and 1970s.[7] The regiment replaced it in 1978 with the MiG-23M (Flogger-B).[7] In the 1990s, the Turkmen Air Force took over operation of the military base.
Until 2011, the airfield had the main runway 16/34. The airfield was capable of receiving aircraft of most types, including An-225, An-124 and Il-76 (with partial load), An-22, Tu-154, Boeing-757 and all lighter ones, as well as helicopters of all types.[8] In 2011, the construction of a new runway 16R/34L was completed, its classification number (PCN) is 70/R/A/X/T, dimensions are 3500 × 45 m (cement concrete). The commissioning of the new runway allows the airport to receive aircraft of all types.
