Social media reported that construction of the airport in Manas has been halted. What is happening?
Recently, information appeared on social media that the construction of a new international airport in Manas has been suspended. According to user reports, machinery is leaving the construction site and heading to Bishkek.

However, representatives of Kaktus.media from the State Enterprise "Airports of Kyrgyzstan" stated that this information is not accurate. The reason for the temporary halt in machinery operations is heavy rains that hinder earthworks.

Additionally, the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) has already addressed this issue and identified the person who spread the information about the cessation of construction. Agency employees found out that the author of the video is a resident of the Suzak district named M. u. Sh., born in 1994. He admitted that he filmed and shared this material without malicious intent and expressed remorse after a preventive conversation with the operatives.

Work was conducted with him to clarify the situation.

According to the State Enterprise "Airports of Kyrgyzstan," the new two-story airport terminal will be able to serve more than 350 passengers per hour and will cover an area of 10,000 square meters, ensuring a high level of service and comfort. The aerodrome infrastructure will meet international standards, including a runway 3,800 meters long, two taxiways, and six aircraft parking spots.

We remind you that for the creation of the international airport in the territories of the Jalal-Abad and Suzak regions, a transformation of land with a total area of 371.18 hectares, previously classified as agricultural land, including irrigated fields, forests, fruit orchards, and mulberry plantations, took place. Local residents still refer to this area by its old name - Lenin Village.
