Astana-Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport is an international airport in Kazakhstan located 16.7 km southeast of the capital Nur-Sultan (former Astana).
Astana's first airfield was built in 1931 on the outskirts of the town and was developed further after World War II. However, a new airport, which became Astana international Airport, was built 11 miles to the south of the city and opened in November 1963. It was largely used by Aeroflot and its local directorate. Following the transfer of the capital from Almaty to Astana in December 1997, the airport underwent a series of major reconstructions which brought it up to international standards, including the current 11,484 ft (3,500m) runway. A new passenger terminal designed by the late Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was opened in February 2005.
During 2015, traffic increased to 3,366,560 passengers.
There is one terminal which is divided into two sectors – A and B. A is for international flights and B is for domestic.

Created in 1956, it is today the most active space center in the world with nearly 15 launches per year. The area leased by Russia is located 240 km northwest of Kyzylorda. The launch of the Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome is the spectacle of a long journey. The installations, which remained secret for a long time, can now be visited, such as the space shuttle installations Egerguiya Bourana, the memorial houses of Korolev and Gagarin, the launching ramp from which on April 12, 1961, the spacecraft Vostok was launched for the first time in the world with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board. This visit is very special, also the rocket launch and requires strict administrative preparation. We advise you to contact us 3 months in advance if the visit interests you.
Of all the natural wonders of Afghanistan, the lakes of Band-e Amir are perhaps the most out-standing. Situated in the mountainous Hazarajat at an altitude of approximately 3000m, 75km from Bamiyan, these majestic blue lakes are of legendary beauty.
It is the country’s first national park, officially designated as such in 2009, and is home to six lakes that are most famous for their striking deep blue shade, a result of mineral deposits. The lakes are separated by natural travertine deposits, making it one of the world’s only travertine systems. It is framed by the Hindu Kush mountains, and acts as one of the centres of Afghan tourism. While the region provides a wealth of natural and agricultural resources, the opportunities for ecotourism mean that there has been a decrease in economic dependency on these resources.
