Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers noted that the renovation of Manas International Airport stands as a vivid symbol of Kyrgyzstan's drive toward new opportunities, emphasizing that 2026 has been a special year for Kyrgyz aviation.
"By upgrading our airports, we are modernizing Kyrgyzstan's aviation system. At Manas Airport, airfield elements have been renewed, and lighting systems modernized. The 'Manas-2' airport complex has undergone complete reconstruction. Furthermore, new, modern airport complexes are currently under construction at Osh and Issyk-Kul international airports. Construction of the Jalal-Abad International Airport is also underway. The airports in Karakol, Naryn, Kerben, Kazarman, and Talas have been renovated and put back into operation. All these efforts aim to achieve a single goal: bringing the regions of Kyrgyzstan closer to one another and to the world. Our aircraft fleet is also being updated." "This year, more than 5.836 billion soms have been allocated to expand the fleet of Asman Airlines. We want our national airline to be competitive," emphasized Adylbek Kasymaliev.
Noting that this year marks another significant milestone for Kyrgyz aviation, Adylbek Kasymaliev added that Kyrgyzstan has been removed from the European Union's aviation blacklist. The state is currently set to acquire two Airbus A321 aircraft. The goal is to elevate Kyrgyz airlines to a level that enables safe, high-quality, and competitive service on routes to leading nations around the world, the opening of new air routes, the expansion of aircraft fleets, the improvement of service quality, and the assurance of the highest standards of aviation safety. The work carried out at Manas Airport is a practical result of this very strategy,” he said.
According to statistical data, preliminary results for the first nine months of 2026 show that the consolidated net profit of JSC “Airports of Kyrgyzstan” amounted to 4.2 billion soms. More than 9.8 billion soms have been invested in airport infrastructure development.
