History

The government of Russia plans to renovate the airport, either by itself or in partnership with another agency. A runway extension is planned, so the airport may accept larger aircraft flying to and from Moscow and Saint Petersburg; or for technical stops for flights from China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and other Asian countries operating to the western part of Russia or elsewhere in Europe.[2] The runway reconstruction officially ended on 13 February 2018, with ATR 42-500 of NordStar arriving from Krasnoyarsk-Yemelyanovo. Currently, the airport plans to become international in 2018, to commence various flights to PRC (Beijing and Ürümqi) and Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar).[3]

On 5 September 2019, Kyzyl Airport received the allowance for international flights.[4]
