Muynak Airport (Karakalpak: Moynaq aeroportı; Uzbek: Moʻynoq aeroporti) (IATA: MOK, ICAO: UZNM) is an airport located in the city of Moynak, Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan. It is considered as small type airport in terms of its capacity to transport passengers.
History
In 1947, Muynak Airport was built, and was classified as a 3rd class airport. It was capable of handling An-24, Yak-40 and additional light aircraft, as well as helicopters and so on. From the 1960s until the early 1990s, an An-2 aircraft link was based at the aerodrome; up to 19 passenger flights per day were made on local air lines (in particular, to Kungrad, Nukus, Urgench, Takhtakupyr, Kazakhdarya, Aspantay, Tuley) points. Since the 1990s, it has been used as a landing platform for aerial work (in particular, for agrochemical measures to combat locust foci in the southern Aral Sea region).[4]
Present
In 2019, the reconstruction of Muynak Airport began under a government program aimed at improving the social-economic development of the region. The total cost of the project amounted to 300 billion soums, one third of which was allocated to the construction of a new 2.3 km long runway. In August 2020, the reconstruction was completed, with the first aircraft to land being an Airbus A320.[4]
