Kazakhstan: Kostanay Airport (KSN) to close for two months June 15

Event

Officials will close Kostanay Airport (KSN), which services the Kostanay region, for up to two and a half months beginning on Saturday, June 15, for maintenance work. During the repair period, train and bus services to the capital Nursultan (formerly Astana) will be increased to offset travel disruptions. According to airport officials, after the runway is repaired a new terminal will also be constructed. Increased demand and crowded conditions are possible on trains and buses traveling between the Kostanay region and Nursultan.

Advice

Potentially impacted travelers are advised to monitor developments to the situation, contact their airline for additional information, and anticipate higher demand and crowded conditions on alternative modes of transportation.
