Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport; (IATA: TSE, ICAO: UACC) is an international airport in Kazakhstan located 16.7 km (10.4 mi) southeast of the capital city of Nursultan, formerly known as Astana.[1]

History

Astana's first airfield was built in 1931 on the outskirts of the town and was developed further after World War II. However, a new airport, which became Astana international Airport, was built 11 miles to the south of the city and opened in November 1963. It was largely used by Aeroflot and its local directorate. Following the transfer of the capital from Almaty to Astana in December 1997, the airport underwent a series of major reconstructions which brought it up to international standards, including the current 11,484 ft (3,500m) runway. A new passenger terminal designed by the late Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was opened in February 2005.[2] Further development occurred in 2017 with a second terminal opening in time for Expo 2017 – all international flights moved to this new terminal.

During 2015, traffic increased to 3,366,560 passengers.

Terminals

There are separate terminal buildings for domestic and international flights. Both terminals are adjacent, share a single car park and have a connecting corridor for transit passengers.

T1 – International Terminal

The new international terminal (labelled "T1") opened in June 2017.[3] Plans for the new terminal show 5–6 new departure gates complementing the gates in the previously existing terminal building.[4] With the new terminal open, passenger capacity should increase to 7.5 million per year.[5]

T2 – Domestic Terminal

With the opening of the new international terminal, the old terminal (now labelled "T2") is now dedicated to domestic flights.
