A Brief History of Almaty Airport

Almaty International Airport was established in 1935, initially serving only small aircraft on short domestic routes. It continued in this capacity until the early 1990s, after which a major modernisation programme in the early 2000s brought the facility up to contemporary international standards. The airport now operates a single terminal with capacity for over 6 million passengers per year. Plans for a second terminal have been in development for over a decade, though contract delays have postponed construction; the project remains a priority for the relevant authorities.
