The international airport terminal was built by regional construction companies. The area of ​​the terminal is 10 thousand square meters, the average passenger flow reaches 600 thousand people a year.

We expect that the new airport will become a powerful impetus for increasing passenger traffic, opening new international routes, developing tourism in the region, as well as increasing air travel,” said B. Kamaliev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It should be noted that in March of this year, by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Uralsk airport was named after Manshuk Mametova, a heroine-gunner who was born in the West Kazakhstan region.
