He admitted that he published his conclusions based on rumors and confirmed that construction work at the site is currently ongoing.
The presidential representative's office in the Jalal-Abad region noted that rumors about the "freezing" of the project are not true. Currently, the construction of the new airport, located on an area of 381 hectares, is proceeding on schedule.
The project is being implemented with the support of the OJSC "Airports of Kyrgyzstan," and the general contractor is the GP "Kyrgyzstroyservice," operating under the auspices of the Presidential Administration.
The design of the aerodrome part is being carried out by GP "Kyrgyzdortransproject," while the terminal project is being developed by the Department of Urban Planning and Architecture of the Ministry of Architecture, Construction, and Housing and Communal Services, as reported by the press service.
Representatives of the presidential office added that a slight technical pause in some works was caused by the need to relocate high-voltage power lines located on the construction site, as well as adverse weather conditions. Nevertheless, the contracting organizations continue their activities as usual.
Among the technical specifications of the new airport:
- Capacity: the terminal, consisting of three floors, will serve 350 passengers per hour.
- Runway (RWY): length - 3800 meters, width - 60 meters. Currently, preparatory work is being conducted before asphalting, involving more than 70 units of special equipment.
- Airport class: this facility belongs to category 4E, which will allow it to accommodate large aircraft such as Boeing 737, Airbus A320, and A321.
