About Hazrat Sultan International Airport

Hazrat Sultan International Airport (HSIA) (Kazakh: Халықаралық Әзірет Сұлтан Әуежайы / Halyqaralyq Äzıret Sūltan Äuejaiy), commonly known as Türkistan International Airport (IATA: HSA, ICAO: UAIT), is a new greenfield international airport that serves the city of Türkistan (as a replacement for the old Türkistan Airport). The airport is located near the village of Shaga, 16 km (9.9 mi) NE of the centre of Türkistan, the capital of the Türkistan Region (formerly known as South Kazakhstan Region), in the southernmost part of Kazakhstan.

The construction of the airport started in May 2019, and was completed after one year in 2020 with a cost of around US$160 million. The new airport was constructed within the framework of a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model between Turkish YDA Holding and the Kazakh Government and is compliant with all international standards and implemented using the latest building technologies.

It is the first greenfield airport to be developed in post-communist Kazakhstan, and the 19th commercial airport in the country. The opening ceremony of the new airport took place on the planned date of 28 September 2020. However, the airport was put into operation and ready for deployment in January 2021. Hazrat Sultan International Airport construction can be considered as the fastest airport facility construction in the world. The airport's IATA code, HSA, is derived from the airport's abbreviated name of "Hazrat Sultan Airport".
