(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, January 18. The "Karakol"
international airport in Kyrgyzstan is set to begin operations in
the autumn of 2024, Trend reports.
According to Manas International Airport, a company, operating
Kyrgyz airports, the current construction at Karakol airport
includes a terminal and runway meeting international standards. The
funding for this construction is provided by Manas OJSC.
Karakol Airport was established in 1971, and its runway was put
