Ashgabat International Airport, Turkmenistan
Ashgabat International Airport, formerly known as Saparmurat Türkmenbaşy International Airport, is one of three international airports in Turkmenistan. It is located approximately 10 km northwest of the capital Ashgabat. The old airport, with its air traffic control tower and a 12,000-foot long precision approach runway, opened in 1994 and was named after the country’s first president, Saparmyrat Niyazov. The new airport opened in 2016 after being completely redesigned and rebuilt.
